DISCOVER THE HISTORIC HOMES OF KENT & CANTERBURY
Step back in time to explore the city of Canterbury and the medieval Leeds Castle, and enjoy scenic rail journeys on some of Kent and East Sussex’s railways on this five-day break in the south-east. Your trip begins among the half-timbered houses of Canterbury, home of the famous cathedral, where you’ll stay in the comfortable Victoria Hotel, a short walk from the centre of the historic city.
After an introductory tour of the sights of Canterbury, including Palace Street,
King’s Bridge and the Old Weavers House, you’ll have time to explore independently. You’ll also visit the Tudor coastal fortress of Walmer Castle, which was built during the time of Henry VIII and was home to Queen Victoria as well as the Queen Mother from 1978 to 2002. There will also be a trip to Henry VIII’S Leeds Castle as well as taking in the scenery on journeys on the Canterbury & East Kent Railway, Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway and the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
