Canterbury Cathedral and Leeds Castle Tour is an absolutely great day trip from London to the heart of great English heritage, Canterbury, with its cathedral and Leeds, with its castle. Canterbury, a medieval town, still has its old town walls and has not changed much in over 700 years. Just like thousands of pilgrims did before you, head to the large cathedral in which St Thomas Becket’s shrine today is marked by one candle.
Kent is full of history and there are many other English Heritage buildings in the region. You may also check our Rochester Castle and Charles Dickens tour.

Itinerary
The graves of Kings, Princes and Archbishops will be all around and the stained glass windows will tell the stories of the Bible or recount events in the lives of Saints here in Canterbury. After leaving lovely Canterbury, you will head towards the picturesque Leeds Castle, through green, untouched Kent countryside with narrow lanes, hectares of land, huge lovely houses and total privacy. That is the dream that some of the most beautiful villages in Kent offer. The Keep (Keep the English term corresponding to the French “Donjon”, the place of last resort in case of siege or assault, for the strongest part of the castle fortification) has been a secure place for thousands of years, set in 500 acres of parkland and surrounded by a lake. It housed Kings and Queens and was used for government conferences and romantic private weddings in modern times. It's great to explore everything and travel through history is such beautiful surroundings.
