Canterbury: The seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, this old town surrounded by a medieval wall is steeped in history. Another of England’s magnificent early cathedrals, this one was the scene of medieval murder: Archbishop Thomas Becket was killed by four knights in the depth of night. Canonised four years later his place of martyrdom became a place of pilgrimage. Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales is a witty account of a group of pilgrims visiting the shrine. Visit the Pilgrim’s Hall, Conquest House, now an antique shop where the knights met, the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, have lunch in the Weavers’ cottages and enjoy a walk through the old medieval streets.

Dover Castle: Perched on the top of the famous white cliffs, Dover Castle offers dramatic views across The English Channel. It was built by William the Conqueror on the site of an ancient Saxon fort. The massive keep and the concentric walls around it provided a formidable defence against enemies. Visit the Secret Wartime Tunnels first dug during the Napoleonic wars and later adapted in the Second World War to become a command centre and underground hospital for the Dunkirk evacuation.

Leeds Castle: One of the loveliest castle’s in the world, it is surrounded by magnificent parkland and is set in the middle of a natural lake. From Norman fortress to royal palace, it has been carefully restored by Lady Bailey, an American heiress and has a fine collection of paintings, tapestries, furnishings and also a dog collar museum. If you feel brave try the Maze – can you find your way out?

Faversham: This old town close by the sea is one of England’s most charming and historic market towns. Many of the timber framed buildings are over 400 years old, and Arden house was the scene of an infamous medieval murder! The picturesque creek was one of the main medieval ports for the export of wool and old fashioned boat building and restoring still flourishes in the creek. Shepherd Neame’s Brewery is probably the oldest in the country still brewing on its original site since 1698.
