Suggested Itinerary...
Begin your tour in the attractive surroundings of Kearsney Abbey with its unique cafeteria, which is all that remains of the Gothic house. Across the road the Manor House (1256) is presently occupied by the Augustinian Nuns.
The river that runs through the gardens continues to the restored 19th century Corn Mill at Crabble. It has a mill pond, working water wheel and six floors which contain a museum and arts & crafts gallery. Taking a road that follows the stream and then climbs to Langdon Cliffs, we reach the best viewing point across the Dover Straits to the northern coast of France.
nearby Louis Blêriot landed his airplane on top of the cliffs on the morning of the 25th July 1909. This first successful crossing of the Channel by powered flight won him a prize of £1,000.
A winding country lane takes us down to the sheltered and secluded bay of St. Margaret’s, where you can see Noel Coward’s house, Pine gardens and a statue of Sir Winston Churchill. Driving back through the pretty Kentish village, we return to Dover Castle, one of the most impressive and best preserved castles in England.
You may choose to just take photo¬graphs of its outer walls or continue your tour by going inside. (Al¬low at least 2-3 hours if you wish to in¬clude the guided tour of Hellfire Corner, which is included in the entrance fee.) The Roman lighthouse (Pharos) still stands 40 feet high in the castle grounds.
We follow the Marine Parade road & stop close to the clock tower. This vantage point offers a spectacular view of the white cliffs and castle perched high above the town.
Climbing again to the Western Heights (where the second Roman lighthouse stood), we stop by the path to the Grand Shaft, a unique triple spiral staircase cut into the cliffs by the Victorians to connect the army barracks with the town below. Driving back into the centre of town you are free to visit the Roman Painted House, or choose to follow the Historic Town Trail.
Your driver will be pleased to recommend an authentic English Inn in a rural setting should you wish to stop for lunch.
