Rochester is a city full of treasures. The 2nd place settled by the Christian missionaries sent from Rome by Pope Gregory the Great to convert southern England in 597AD, the Cathedral is the 2nd oldest after Canterbury. But the Romans were here long before as this is the perfect place to cross the River Medway & the bridges are still an important part of the city today. Then 1066 & the arrival of the Normans heralds the gradual rebuilding of the cathedral as well as the construction of a huge stone castle - second only to the Tower of London. Kings have stayed in the city on their way to mainland Europe whilst escaping political tumult and also on their way back to reclaim their thrones. Henry VIII met his 4th wife Anne of Cleves here for the first time & he also had one of the city's most famous Bishops executed for not supporting him as supreme head of the Church of England. More recently Charles Dickens spent his childhood here & chose to live here in his later years.

Folkestone grew from a sleepy harbour town into a major passenger port & railway link to the continent during the early part of the 19th Century. High-society had already discovered the town's charms and local landowner Lord Radnor employed Decimus Burton (of Regent's Park & Tunbridge Wells fame) to develop the seafront & the grand Leas cliff-top promenade was born. The 2 World Wars completely changed the fortunes of the town and during WW1 most of the seafront buildings were requisitioned & the local population evacuated. Over 10 million troops & personnel left for the front lines in France via Folkestone between 1914 & 1918! Today, The Leas retains its grandeur & beauty, but now has added poignant memorials to these momentous events which we will explore in depth. More recently, the Old Town & Harbour have had a huge regeneration & are a great destination for shopping and eating.
