Leeds
Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and the
Gardens of Kent
We follow the old Pilgrims
Way to the ancient walled city of Canterbury,
a place of pilgrimmage for many centuries. Visit
the magnificent cathedral, the scene
of the bloody murder of Thomas Beckett
in 1170 and the home of English christianity. There's
also time to explore the labyrinth of
medieval streets, quaint shops and historic
taverns.
Afterwards we take the
grassy lanes through the orchards, hop
fields and oast houses of the Garden
of England.
Visit Chilham, the prettiest
village in Kent, and Pluckley, the most
haunted village in England and the setting
of the popular comedy "The Darling Buds
of May"
And finally to Leeds Castle,
beautifully positioned on two small islands
in the middle of a lake. Over 1000 years
old, this spectacular castle has been
a royal residence for six of England's
medieval queens and a palace oh Henry
VIII. The castle is richly furnished
and is set in beautifully landscaped
gardens. We spend over 2 hours here to
allow plenty of time to explore the castle
and the grounds - including the Culpepper
country flower and herb garden, maze
and underground grotto and Aviary with
its collection of more than 100 rare
species of birds.
