Following lunch, travel to a hotel just outside Dover. If time and weather allow, there may be an opportunity to visit a stunning 12th-century church in Barfrestone, Kent - a true treasure in the English countryside.
Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral

The interior is breathtaking, and the stained glass is a miraculous sight on a sunny day.
