Detail Description:
In Greenwich you will see the Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian, where East meets West and Time is set.Continue to Leeds Castle which is famous for the shimmering lake that surrounds it lending it an air of serene grandeur. Arriving early means you will be allowed in before the doors open to the public to experience its magic in an atmosphere of still tranquility. Leeds Castle has inspired countless artists with its picture-perfect medieval Castle in 500 acres of parkland and gardens. Discover the superb collection of medieval furnishings, tapestries and Impressionist art, the aviary of rare birds, the vineyard and of course the delightful maze.Traveling through Kent, the County known as "the garden of England", you arrive in Canterbury, the birthplace of English Christianity. The Cathedral, built in the 11th century, is linked to many great church figures, the most famous being St Thomas Becket, who was gruesomely murdered there in 1170. Canterbury Cathedral's Gothic style architecture is a lasting testament to its seat as the birthplace of English Christianity, and a monument to the enduring power of its first Christian missionaries.Continue the tour through the picturesque landscape of Kent dotted with unusual buildings and quaint little villages to Dover, where can see the famous White Cliffs standing 400 feet above sea level. Brooding above the White Cliffs is the sprawling Dover Castle still watching over the town 800 years on.Included in this tour is a special hop-on hop-off ticket for a Thames River Cruise - this ticket is valid for a full day and can be used any time during your stay.
