What to expect

  1. Leeds Castle
    Pass by
    Described as 'the loveliest castle in the world' by Lord Conway, Leeds Castle sits in 500 acres of landscaped parkland across two idyllic islands, deep in the heart of the magnificent Kent countryside. Early arrival ensures an almost private visit of Leeds Castle, where Henry VIII retreated to escape the plague raging in London during his reign. Be the first group to enter the Castle and enjoy a delightful tasting of mead - an alcoholic beverage once had by the Vikings!

    1h · Admission ticket included
    Centre of English Christianity and home to a succession of 104 Archbishops since Augustine, Canterbury is a magnificent medieval city that’s a must for any history buff. Discover the scene of Archbishop Thomas Becket’s gruesome murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. Learn the intriguing history behind this captivating masterpiece of medieval architecture. Marvel at the cathedral’s spectacular stained glass windows, many of which have survived from the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The Cathedral will still be open but there will be parts that are not open to the public between these dates – The Nave, Chapter House, Martyrdom and western part of the Quire’
  3. The White Cliffs of Dover
    Pass by

  4. Greenwich
    30m
    Overlooking the River Thames, Greenwich is a stunning World Heritage site bustling with fine maritime landmarks. See the Old Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and the world–famous Cutty Sark, a fascinating 19th–century clipper ship.
  5. Cutty Sark
    Pass by
    The Cutty Sark is a clipper ship built in the United Kingdom in the 18th century.
    A tea clipper, the Cutty Sark was built on the River Leven near Dumbarton in Scotland in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line. It was one of the last and fastest tea clippers ever built, having been built at the end of a long period of design development that had been halted when sailing ships were replaced by steam propulsion.
  6. Old Royal Naval College
    Pass by
    Founded in 1873, The Old Royal Naval College serves as the magnificent centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, described as having "outstanding universal value" and being the "finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
