OLD ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE

Once you arrive at the meeting point, you will board your luxury coach along with your tour guide and head to the beautiful Leeds Castle, set on a sprawling estate of grassland with it’s own lake. Your guide will regale you with the history of the castle during your private visit and tell you stories from a time when the castle was a haven for royals away from the bustle of London. You can even stop by for a glass of mead at the newly renovated Gatehouse! You will then depart for the medieval city of Canterbury, the setting of many works of literature but most famous for once being the centre of English Christianity. Step into the lofty cathedral and marvel at the architecture of the historic structure as the light filters in through the many colorful stained glass windows. The cliffs of Dover have held of many an invasion and have withstood them all, looking no worse for the wear. Admire the breathtaking view from this stretch of the coast before a quick stop at Dover Castle, always fun for movie buffs since it was once the replacement for the Tower of London in a major Hollywood feature film. After Dover, you will make your way to Greenwich, home to the Old Royal Naval College designed by Christopher Wren and many fascinating stories besides.

The jewel in the crown of a visit to the Royal Borough of Greenwich is the magnificent Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College, which is one of Europe’s most impressive interiors.
