Departing towards the South of England, you travel through the County of Kent also known as "The Garden of England", the trip takes you along the route of popular and religious tradition: "The Pilgrim Way". Immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th. C. in his most famous book "Canterbury Tales", the city is the cradle of Christianity in Britain.
Just before arrival, the first glimpse of the Cathedral does impress with its majestic beauty, but nothing prepares you for the intricate medieval stonework of this " Flower of the Perpendicular Style". It became a place of pilgrimage in 1170 when St Thomas a Becket was murdered inside his own Cathedral.
Leaving Canterbury, another 16 miles to the South coast of England to see the famous White Cliffs of Dover and the nearest crossing point to France which can be seen in the distance in a clear day. Nearby, in Folkestone, you are near the entrance to the Tunnel linking England to France by a fast train called "Le Shuttle" taking private cars and lorries across the English Channel.
