DAY 4
After having hot continental buffet breakfast at the hotel, we begin

This
southwest of London is home to historic sites of Leeds Castle,
Canterbury Cathedral and Dover. On your way, you'll drive through
Greenwich, home of the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian, where
the world's time is set (Greenwich Mean Time - GMT). When you reach
Leeds Castle, you'll enjoy a private viewing of this glorious
12th-century castle before the doors open to the public. You'll then
visit famous Canterbury Cathedral and see the White Cliffs of Dover.
Leeds
Castle is a major English tourist attraction, but you don't have to
worry about pushing through big crowds on this day trip from London to
Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Dover, all in the Kent
countryside. After departing London and driving through Greenwich, your
first stop will be Leeds Castle. You'll have an exclusive private
viewing of the castle before the public crowds arrive, allowing you to
experience the full splendor of the castle in relative peace.
Leeds
Castle is famous for its setting on the shimmering lake that surrounds
it ? effectively creating a large moat. Dating back to the year 1119,
the castle enjoys an idyllic setting in 500 acres of parkland and
gardens, which make it one of the most picturesque castles in Britain.
Admire the superb collection of medieval furniture and tapestries and
Impressionist art. See the aviary of rare birds, the vineyard and the
castle's famous maze.
You'll then head to Canterbury Cathedral.
Built in the 11th century, the cathedral is linked to many great church
figures ? the most famous being St Thomas Becket, who was murdered there
in 1170. The cathedral's Gothic-style architecture is a lasting
testament to its seat as the birthplace of English Christianity. It also
plays a role in Chaucer's famous The Canterbury Tales.
Finally,
you'll continue through the Kent countryside ? known as the Garden of
England, with its quaint villages and pretty landscapes ? to reach the
coast at Dover. Here you'll admire the White Cliffs of Dover, standing
400 feet (122 meters) above sea level. Standing tall above the English
Channel is Dover Castle, England's largest castle. Later in the evening,
you return back to your hotel for an overnight stay.

This is the last day of your tour. After having your buffet breakfast, its time to pack you luggage and proceed back to home with beautiful memories of Britain.
