The delightful county of Kent is blessed with

architecture. From our base near Rochester, we visit
Maidstone, which lies in the heart of the Garden of
England, and on to Chartwell House, the much-loved
family home of Sir Winston Churchill, the rooms
remain much as they were when he lived there, with
pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the
career and wide-ranging interests of a great
statesman, writer, painter and family man. We
continue the historic trail with a visit to Canterbury,
with it’s famous Cathedral, and a visit to Leeds
Castle, set on two islands on the river Len, home to
generations of Lords and Ladies for over 1000 years,
a sumptuous mix of period architecture, impressive
interiors and family treasures. A tour to Kent wouldn’t
be complete without a visit to Dover and the most

has commanded the gateway to the realm for nine
centuries, discover the many different layers of Dover
Castle’s colourful and turbulent history.
