Warwick castle rises majestically over the surrounding countryside and is the ultimate fortified defence, complete with battlements, dungeons and portcullis.

You can wander through gracefully landscaped gardens, climb the ramparts, tremble in the dungeon and visit the castle's excellent waxwork exhibits.
Hever Castle and Chartwell
Hever castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. It is a 13th century moated castle set in beautiful gardens. Chartwell was home to Winston Churchill and gives a fascinating insight into his life as it is still full of his personal belongings, including his books and the cigars he used to smoke.
Dover Castle & Canterbury
Dover castle sits on the white cliffs and has defended England from the continent for centuries. The castle dates from the 12th century, and this imposing fortress was enlarged by Henry VIII. More recently it was the nerve centre for the military during the second world war – the wartime tunnels are not to be missed.
Leeds Castle and Canterbury
Leeds castle has been called "the loveliest castle in the world" and when you see it you may well agree. It has been home to many of England's Queens and has beautiful gardens and an array of birdlife.
Canterbury has history written in its winding lanes and timber-framed buildings.The cathedral is truly impressive with its luminous stained glass and its long history - the murder of Thomas Becket took place here in 1170, and you will see the candle that burns where his shrine once stood.
Bath & Stonehenge
This day is a great combination of pre-history, Roman Britain, Graceful Georgian streets and some fabulous shopping! Starting with mysterious Stonehenge, moving on to visit the Roman Baths at England's only natural hot spring and explore the beautiful city of Bath.
