Itinerary

Mon - Travel South arrive at the hotel. Settle into your room before enjoying your evening meal.

Tue - Today, we make the very short journey from our hotel to Leeds Castle. This elegant 12th century castle rises majestically from the waters of its moat and is surrounded by 500 acres of beautiful parkland and gardens. We have 900 years of history to take in, from its beginnings as a Norman stronghold to being the home of the wealthy Anglo- American heiress the Hon. Lady Baillie.

Wed - We spend today at the Historic Dockyard Chatham; the exhibits stretch over 80 acres, including three historic warships, interactive galleries and a collection of RNLI Lifeboats, so there’s plenty to see and do. We discover 400 years of history as we embark on the Royal Dockyard Tour, exploring the architecture, ships and people that shaped British maritime innovation, engineering and design. We also ‘learn the ropes’ on the Victorian Ropery Tour. Rope has been made at Chatham for centuries, so we get an insight into the art of ropemaking from the best in the business, with live demonstrations by the master ropemakers!

Thu - Our day begins with a guided visit to the beautifully restored Godinton House & Gardens, in the heart of Kent. Our guide will unravel 600 years of history before we have time explore the delightful gardens then enjoy a ploughman’s lunch. Later we continue for some free time in Canterbury

Fri - After breakfast we bid farewell to the hotel and start to make our homeward journey.
