Save time and money with this full-day coach trip to three of southern England's most popular sights - Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and the White Cliffs of Dover.
After boarding your air-conditioned coach at Victoria Coach Station you'll head out of London through the countryside of Kent. Along the way your guide will share some interesting history and insights through a pair of audio headphones.
Leeds Castle - The loveliest castle in the world
Upon arrival at Leeds Castle you'll have 1½ hours to explore the home that Henry VIII gifted to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and admire its magnificent artworks, furniture and tapestries.

The castle dates all the way back to the 12th-century and its fairytale moat makes it one of England's prettiest estates. It was built on islands within a lake created by the River Len, and is frequently heralded as "the loveliest castle in the world".
You might like to stroll through its 500 acres of landscaped gardens and try and escape its famous maze of yew hedges.
Canterbury Cathedral - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Photo: londondrum.comYour next stop will be Canterbury Cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the country and has been a place of Christian worship for nearly 1,000 years.
Photo: londondrum.comIt's also known for one of history's most notorious crimes - the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170. As you listen to the audio guide on your headphones you'll see the exact spot where he was felled by Henry II's knights, and the site of his shrine that survived until Henry VIII's Reformation.
The White Cliffs of Dover & Dover Castle

Photo: viator.comAfter admiring this chalk wall that soars 350ft above the crashing waves of the English Channel you'll pass by the country's oldest castle sitting majestically on a wind-swept hilltop.
Dover Castle has been defending us against mainland Europe since the days of William the Conqueror and its formidable fortifications - and the fact that it's never been conquered - has earned it the title 'The Key to England'.
