On this unique journey from the south coast of Kent at Dover to Canterbury, the rich history of England unravels before you.

Maritime history abounds so there are old ports, smuggling, and castles with beaches and oysters also featuring. Churches and settlements established by the early settlers and pilgrims are much in evidence. Add to those a sunny and sheltered landscape whose bountiful fruit and vegetable farms earn it the description of 'The Garden of England' and your adventure will be a fascinating one.
