Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs of Dover

Tour Overview

Leeds Castle

Set in 500 acres of beautiful parkland and surrounded by a sparkling lake, Leeds Castle is often described as one of the loveliest castles in the world. Once a royal residence, it was home to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, giving you a fascinating glimpse into Tudor life. If you’re planning a Leeds Castle tour from London, our private tour guide will take you through this spectacular fortress, where you can discover its royal history and even enjoy a glass of mead at the beautifully restored Gatehouse. With seasonal events, gardens and attractions throughout the year, Leeds Castle is a wonderful choice for couples, families and history lovers.

Canterbury

Step into the medieval world of Canterbury, a historic city famous for its magnificent cathedral and rich religious heritage. Canterbury Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in England and has been at the heart of English Christianity for centuries. During your visit, you’ll discover the story of Archbishop Thomas Becket, whose dramatic murder in 1170 made Canterbury a major place of pilgrimage. Inside, admire the colourful stained-glass windows, fascinating historic treasures and atmospheric crypt, while listening out for the cathedral’s 21 bells, including the famous Bell Harry.

Dover

No Dover tour from London would be complete without seeing the spectacular White Cliffs of Dover. Rising dramatically above the English Channel, these famous cliffs have witnessed centuries of invasions, military campaigns and two world wars. You can explore the fascinating Fan Bay Deep Shelter, a network of Second World War tunnels hidden beneath the chalk cliffs. Nearby, Dover Castle stands proudly above the coastline and is one of England’s largest castles, with layers of history stretching from Saxon and Norman times through the Napoleonic era and the World Wars.
