Activity itinerary

Leeds Castle

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Your journey begins with a comfortable ride through the scenic Kent countryside, where your first destination is the stunning Leeds Castle. Often described as one of the most beautiful castles in the world, it sits majestically on two islands surrounded by a peaceful lake and 500 acres of parkland. With your Leeds Castle tickets included, you can step right inside and explore centuries of royal history at your own pace. Once a Norman stronghold, then a royal palace, and later a private residence, Leeds Castle has witnessed more than 900 years of fascinating stories. Walk through elegant rooms filled with antique furnishings, admire the Tudor and medieval architecture, and imagine the lives of the kings, queens, and nobles who once lived here.

Hever Castle & Gardens

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
After exploring Leeds Castle, your Kent Tour continues to the equally captivating Hever Castle, a place that offers both romance and royal intrigue. Once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, Hever Castle is filled with stories that shaped England’s royal past. Your Hever Castle tickets provide full access to this enchanting Tudor estate. Inside, wander through rooms adorned with rich wood panelling, antique furniture, and historical portraits. You’ll discover fascinating exhibitions about the Boleyn family and the turbulent Tudor period, offering an intimate look into the life of one of England’s most famous queens. The castle’s grounds are just as spectacular as its interiors. The award-winning gardens are a masterpiece of design - from the peaceful Italian Garden with its classical sculptures to the fragrant rose gardens and the serene lakeside paths.
