## Tours

- [The Famous White Cliffs of Dover](https://englandplustours.com/tour/the-famous-white-cliffs-of-dover/) - After leaving the Port of Dover we will head east to start our tour in scenic St Margaret’s Bay, providing us with a stunning perspective of the dramatic White Cliffs rising up high above our heads. After time for photos, we continue to the White Cliffs Experience where we will take a short stroll to a vantage spot offering a classic view of the famous cliffs together with Dover’s mighty Norman Castle. Driving down a tunnel cut through the White Cliffs, we reach Samphire Hoe, Eurotunnel’s nature reserve which was created out of rubble during the construction of the Channel Tunnel. It is the only place in Kent where you can stand on reclaimed land and be wowed by the line of famous White Cliffs behind you. Our final stop is at the Battle of Britain Memorial where we learn about “The Few”, who protected this coast and the rest of the country in the worrying times of 1940. The Memorial is located on the clifftop from where you can admire stunning views over the English Channel and, on a clear day, the French coastline.
- [Kent in The Battle of Britain](https://englandplustours.com/tour/kent-in-battle-of-britain/) - Explore the area around Dover to learn about the important role of this part of the country throughout WW2. Picture the life of the British people who lived in ‘Hellfire Corner’ during this tumultuous period. Step back in time to WW2 and see for yourself how the section of coast between Folkestone and Dover played such a vital role in defending the realm by guarding its most crucial line of defence. After leaving the Port of Dover we first head to picturesque St Margaret's Bay, dramatically located underneath the famous White Cliffs of Dover. We then travel inland to the unique Battle of Britain Museum in Hawkinge, the site of the closest airfield to occupied France during WW2. On our way back from Hawkinge, we drive through the seaside town of Folkestone, which played a very important role during both world wars. Our next stop is the poignant Battle of Britain Memorial located on the cliff top in Capel-le-Ferne. After our visit to the Memorial we drive along the cliffs back to Dover cruise terminal.

After a spot of lunch at Chartwell, we continue through the idyllic Kent countryside to Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. The moated castle is a medieval gem and is a photographer's delight. The gardens are equally outstanding throughout the year.

After strolling through Sandwich on a guided walk and hearing quirky stories about its past and present, we will follow the coastal route to Walmer Castle via well-known golf courses and other Kentish towns and villages. In Walmer Castle, we will have an opportunity to see the historic quarters once occupied by William Pitt the Younger and the Duke of Wellington. We will also see the apartment of some very recent Lord Wardens of the Cinque Ports, including Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother who stayed during her time as Lord Warden. Before returning to the cruise terminal, we will see the Dover Patrol Monument offering dramatic views over the English Channel. From there, we will go down to the beach in St Margaret’s Bay, nestled underneath the towering White Cliffs. Following the coastline back to Dover, we will see South Foreland Lighthouse and Dover Castle, the largest Norman Castle in the country.

On the way to Rye, you will learn about unique natural features of this part of the Kent coast as well about historical events which happened here throughout the centuries. After exploring and learning about Rye with its tales of smuggling, murder, a bustling marine trade and 19th-century bohemian period, we will have a chance to get some lunch either in a charming tearoom or a traditional pub. After a short scenic drive, we will spend the second half of the day exploring Sissinghurst Castle Gardens, one of the best-known gardens in England and once home to writer and garden designer Vita Sackville-West.
