First stop was the Canterbury Cathedral. It was massively huge and gorgeous. It is amazing at how much detailed work there was.
The inside. So pretty.
Me on a street in Canterbury. It was a cute little town with lots of small lanes lined with shops and what not.
And of course, Canterbury is home to the Canterbury Tales. They had this interactive museum type thing. We walked through an animated display and while we did that you held a cell phone like device up to your ear that would tell a few of the tales. The displays were really low lit and looked kind of creepy.
Next we went to the White Cliffs of Dover, which were of course, gorgeous.
It's located right on the English Channel. In the distance you can see FRANCE :)
Then we headed over to Leeds Castle, one of Britain's greatest castles. Lots of important people and kings lived there up until Lady Baillie, who left it to the Leeds Castle Foundation after her death so it could be open to the public.
The landscaping around the castle was beautiful. There are lots more pictures up on Facebook.
View from the inside out.
Here are some photos of a couple of different rooms.
There were peacocks everywhere on the grounds!!!!!!!!
Random fact: The castle is situated on a man-made lake, which gets drained each year for cleaning.
