What to expect
Your guide will navigate you through a mix of iconic and under-the-radar locations across Kent. Expect to spend time at Dover's dramatic clifftop ruins—the terrain is uneven and overgrown, so wear sturdy footwear. Canterbury's medieval core reveals three significant religious buildings spanning centuries. The journey between major stops takes you through pastoral countryside; these quiet routes showcase typical Kentish settlements clustered around greens or cobbled squares. You'll have leisure time in Canterbury to choose your own lunch spot from local pubs and cafés. The pace suits all fitness levels, though the Dover site requires careful footing.
Good to know
Private transport with parking included. Canterbury Cathedral entry is optional and not covered. Tips are not included. Wear appropriate footwear for uneven ground at Dover Western Heights. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed.
