Canterbury Cathedral
Canterbury Cathedral is the mother Church of the Anglican Communion and the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The history of the church dates back to 597 AD when St. Augustine was sent to Britain by Pope Gregory to establish a see here. Famously known for the slaying of St. Thomas Beckett (by King Henry II’s knights in the 12th century) the Cathedral has attracted thousands of Pilgrims – as told by Geoffrey Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales.

Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle was a Norman fortress before becoming a medieval palace for England’s queens. Known also as the ‘Lady’s Castle’ because of the many Queen’s of England who have lived here – owing to it becoming part of the Queen of England’s dower (the settlement widowed queens received upon the death of their husbands) in the 1200s. The castle is set on an island in the middle of a lake and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. It was totally restored in the early 1900s.
