Description:

Travel to the charmingly serene Leeds Castle, explore the medieval city of Canterbury, and continue to Dover for a peek over the famous white cliffs. Take a stroll in the pretty riverside district of Greenwich and end the day with a cruise along the River Thames back to central London.

Venture deep into the Kent countryside to explore Leeds Castle, described by Lord Conway as the “loveliest castle in the world.” Stroll around its 500-acre (202-ha) landscaped parkland, which surrounds an idyllic island, and learn about the castle's fascinating history.

Stop for a visit in the magnificent medieval city of Canterbury—the center of English Christianity. At Canterbury Cathedral, learn how Henry VIII destroyed the original structure, along with other religious buildings, just to suit his needs.

Next, you travel to the south coast to see the rugged landscape of the English Channel and the White Cliffs of Dover, which have served as a port for more than 2,000 years.

Stop at Greenwich to witness outstanding examples of 17th-century baroque architecture, such as the Old Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren. To complete your day, set off on a delightful River Thames cruise that takes you from Greenwich to Embankment Pier in central London.
