See three of the most popular sights in southern England with this full-day coach trip from London.
You trip will begin with a ride to Kent for a visit to Leeds Castle. Henry VIII gifted this medieval home to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and you'll time to explore its beautiful rooms filled with rich tapestries and artworks, or 500 acres of landscaped gardens with their famous maze of yew hedges (1 hour 30 mins, entry cost is included).
After that you will continue on to the gothic splendour of Canterbury Cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has a long history that dates all the way back to the Magna Carta and was the murder site of the Archbishop Thomas Becket - one of the most infamous crimes in English history (45 mins, entry cost is included).
Your coach will then continue through some pretty villages before driving past one of Britain's most instantly recognisable landmarks - the White Cliffs of Dover - soaring 350ft above the crashing waves of the English Channel.
You will also drive by the 11th-century Dover Castle rising from a hilltop, which has been described as the 'Key to England' due to its defensive position on the coast.
Commentary will be provided by an expert guide on a pair of audio headphones.
