Known affectionately as The Loveliest Castle in The WorldLeeds Castle boasts an illustrious history spanning nearly 900 years. From its humble medieval origins to its prestigious role as a haven for figures such as Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, Leeds Castle is a testament to opulence and elegance. Set amidst 500 acres of magical parkland and gardens, the castle’s allure has beckoned no fewer than six English queens to call it their private retreat.

The Princess Alexandra Gardens are nestled along the tranquil River Len with vibrant hues of daffodils, narcissi, and anemones, painting a vivid tapestry of nature’s beauty. Along the seasons, guests are treated to the stunning blooming of azaleas and rhododendrons.

At the nucleus of this walled enclave stands the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece from the 11th century. This iconic landmark not only serves as a testament to centuries of history but also as a symbol of Canterbury’s enduring legacy.

Canterbury Cathedral

Having drawn pilgrims and visitors since the Middle Ages, today, Canterbury Cathedral stands as one of the most visited places in the country, maintaining its status as a vibrant, functioning church and community.

Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, Canterbury Cathedral is an exemplary masterpiece of Gothic architecture, captivating visitors year-round. Immerse yourself in the remarkable design and explore the sacred ground where Archbishop Thomas Becket met his fate in 1170, a moment etched into the annals of history.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral seamlessly blends holiness and tourism, offering a serene sanctuary and a captivating destination for travellers. Serving as the Cathedral of the Archbishop and the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a distinctive place in the tapestry of English history.

Far from ordinary, Canterbury Cathedral is often called ‘England in Stone,’ with its extensive history interwoven into the nation’s narrative. The influential Archbishops played pivotal roles in shaping England, from their involvement in creating the Magna Carta, a landmark document in history, to engaging in power struggles with the King of England.

Explore the rich history and spiritual significance of Canterbury Cathedral, where every stone echoes with the stories of the past. Uncover the profound impact of this historic site and its Archbishops, who left an indelible mark on the evolution of England itself. 

The Martyrdom at Canterbury Cathedral

Explore Canterbury, a pivotal pilgrimage destination in Europe, its historical significance intricately tied to the tragic murder of its renowned Archbishop, Thomas Becket, in 1170.

In a moment echoing through time, King Henry II’s exclamation during a prolonged dispute set in motion a fateful event. Four knights journeyed to Canterbury, culminating in the martyrdom of Thomas Becket in what is now known as the Martyrdom Site.

The Miracle Windows, housed in Trinity Chapel, vividly depict the miracles attributed to Thomas Becket after his murder. These intricate stained-glass windows served not only as a testament to the glory of God but also as a means to educate and captivate pilgrims. Many of these visitors, unable to read and write, found enlightenment and entertainment in the vibrant tales portrayed through the artistry of the stained glass.
