Dover, England

Deal & Dover Castle

Historic Estates and Coastal Views Travel through Kent’s rolling countryside and see landmarks including the White Cliffs of Dover and Deal Castle. Begin with a scenic journey by motor coach through Dover, known as the “Gateway to England.” Steeped in over 2,000 years of history, this vibrant coastal town is home to the famed Dover Castle, perched high atop the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. Take in the views of this historic fortress, which likely originated as an Iron Age hillfort, and pause for a photo stop before continuing through the countryside. Your next stop is the town of Deal, a former fishing town with a rich naval history. As you approach, you will see Deal Castle, a defensive stronghold built by order of King Henry VIII during the 16th century. Join a guide for an orientation walk through the town, followed by free time to explore further, before returning to your coach for the journey back to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
