Excursion Leeds castle & canterbury cathedral with lunch tour at Dover
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Situated on a raised island in the middle of a lake and set on 500 acres of beautiful grounds and parkland, Leeds Castle is the oldest and most romantic castle in England. It was built by the Normans in 1119, and its most famous owner, Henry VIII, was responsible for turning Leeds into a truly royal palace. Enjoy free time at the castle with a private guided tour and explore the beautiful grounds at your leisure before heading off to Canterbury. In this place, made famous by Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, sits a quintessential medieval city in one of the most attractive corners of rural England. In medieval times, pilgrims flocked to the city to visit the shrine of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. Upon arrival enjoy a typically English lunch at the Canterbury Cathedral Lodge, before taking a short walk and spend time exploring the magnificent Cathedral, a labyrinth of medieval streets and quaint shops.
