Two hours there, two hours back, and we only had two hours in both Canterbury and Dover with maybe an hour or so at the cliffs. Not anyone’s fault as it is a drive that takes up your day, but for what we were able to do we got a nice sample.”

“The trip was overall wonderful! Just keep in mind that the last stop at the Dover Cliffs is only a walk along the beach with a view of them. I was fine with that, but there’s no castle visit or anything particularly spectacular to expect at the final destination. Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral were absolutely amazing!”
