Castles · South East England

Kent: castles, white cliffs, and the Garden of England

Three days of Norman castles, Tudor palaces and Channel coast.

Kent is England's south-eastern shoulder — closest to France, oldest in continuous human settlement, and packed with castles that once defended the realm against invasion. From Dover's white cliffs to Canterbury's pilgrim cathedral, you can see a millennium of England in three unhurried days.
