Though
London is a charismatic city, you might be keen to spice up your visit to
London by exploring the charm and tranquility of the English countryside. One
of the most captivating visits to the countryside is a tour to the south,
including the historic sites of Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Dover.
En route to this one day countryside expedition is the Royal observatory and
the Prime Meridian, which sets the world’s time. This tour offers an exquisite
fusion of castles, cathedrals and the picturesque English countryside.
Indeed,
Leeds castle is one of the top tourist attractions in England that is
frequented by multitudes of visitors every day. A tour of this calibre
generally commences from London, driving though Greenwich and making a first
stop at Leeds Castle. At this juncture, you have the opportunity to enjoy this
stunning castle, which is set on a gleaming lake, further enhancing the charm
of the castle. The castle dates as far back as 1119, and its restful
environment in 500 acres of parkland and gardens, gives it an exceptional
character of a peaceful haven. In the castle, you can view the formidable
collection of medieval furniture, tapestries and Impressionist art. The
castle’s legendary maze would borrow your imagination for a while, as you contemplate
its complexity.
After
an exploration of the castle, the next visit would be Canterbury Cathedral, a
magnificent and solemn sanctuary. The cathedral was constructed in the 11th
century, and is linked to numerous great figures. The cathedral boasts a unique
Gothic style architecture, providing an imperishable attestation of the special
venue as the birthplace of Christianity in England.
The
last face of the tour comprises a visit through Kent countryside, popularly
considered the Garden of England, with its characteristic quaint villages and
charming landscape, stretching right through to the coast of Denver. Here, the
spectacular White cliff welcomes you with its awe. Of imposing presence above
the English Channel is the Dover Castle.
