What you can expect

Explore the town made famous by Charles Dickens and visit one of England’s most impressive surviving medieval castle buildings: Rochester Castle. Discover Dover Castle - an icon of England, built soon after 1066, and the centre of the effort to evacuate the Allied troops from Dunkirk during WW2. Visit Capel Le Ferne, situated on the White Cliffs of Dover and home to The Battle of Britain Memorial.

ROCHESTER
Step into the pages of Dickens' tales in Historic Rochester, a cherished town that inspired his literary masterpieces, and visit iconic Rochester Castle, boasting breathtaking views from its towering keep.
Discover the influence of Dickens as you stroll past buildings immortalised in works like “Great Expectations” and “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” Marvel at Satis House and Restoration House, echoes of Miss Havisham's abode.
Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history as you traverse the cobbled streets and ancient town walls, dating back to Roman times. Feel the echoes of the past in every corner, from the grandeur of the cathedral to the imposing presence of the castle.
Enjoy some free with either a visit to Rochester Cathedral, a majestic symbol of history and architectural brilliance, or alternatively, wander through the town to discover the charming cafes and shops.

CAPEL-LE-FERNE
Capel-le-Ferne proudly hosts the Battle of Britain Memorial, honouring the valiant heroes who secured victory from July 10 to October 31. Initiated by the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust and opened by the Queen Mother in 1993, it features a poignant propeller-shaped base with a carved pilot figure by Harry Grey at its heart.
Replicas of a Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire stand as tributes alongside the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, bearing the names of nearly 3,000 fighter aircrew.

DOVER CASTLE
Perched atop the White Cliffs, Dover Castle stands as a sentinel over the English Channel, boasting a storied past spanning over nine centuries. Revered as the 'key to England,' its strategic significance has shaped the nation's history.
From its inception after 1066, Dover Castle witnessed royal intrigue and endured epic sieges, embodying the resilience of the realm. During World War II, it once again became a bastion of defence, serving as a vital command centre for naval operations. The tunnels beneath the castle cliffs became the nerve centre for orchestrating the miraculous evacuation in 1940.
