Day 1. Friday We depart and travel to Hever Castle. We depart later this afternoon for the journey to Ashford and the Ashford International Hotel. This evening enjoy a three-course evening meal.
Day 2. Saturday Today we enjoy a visit to Canterbury. Made famous by Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the university city boasts some of England’s finest medieval architecture, including one of its oldest cathedrals. At the heart of the walled city is the iconic Canterbury Cathedral, parts of which date back to the 11th century. Along with the Cathedral, nearby St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 3. Sunday We depart after breakfast and travel home via Leeds Castle. Rising majestically from the still waters of its moat, surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and gardens, Leeds Castle has been a Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; an elegant early 20th century retreat for the influential and famous; and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain. We depart later this afternoon to make our journey home.
