Folkestone & Charming Canterbury

None given.Folkestone & Charming Canterbury
The picturesque county of Kent beckons on this delightful getaway, featuring a fantastic bar offer and nightly entertainment! From our hotel overlooking the pretty harbour in Folkestone, we visit historic Canterbury and take a trip down memory lane at the nostalgic seaside resorts of Broadstairs and Whitstable, dotted with pastel-coloured beach huts and tempting fish and chip shops. A chance to explore 1066 Country completes this revitalising break over the quieter months!

Folkestone & Charming Canterbury
We head to the beautiful city of Canterbury on our included excursion, with its quaint cobbled lanes, timber-framed buildings and medieval city walls. It is also home to the oldest cathedral in England, dating back to Norman times, and the ruins of St. Augustine's Abbey and St. Martin's Church are worth exploring too.

We visit Broadstairs, the seaside town which provided the ideal spot for Victorian author Charles Dickens to write parts of David Copperfield and Bleak House. Find pretty shops and plenty of eateries burrowed away in the town's narrow passageways before we head to Whitstable, which features a small working harbour flanked by shingle beaches, pastel-coloured beach huts, weatherboard houses and independent shops and galleries.

We explore 1066 Country on our optional excursion, calling first at Hastings. This coastal town boasts the remains of the first castle in England to be built by William the Conqueror, a lovely preserved Old Town with half-timbered houses, narrow streets and a three-mile seafront. We then head to the fortified hilltop town of Rye, a charming place of historic buildings, cobbled lanes and secret passages, once the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen.
