Head back inland, passing though some of Kent’s finest leafy lanes, and then stop for a walk around the village of Chilham. Admire its historic square and 1,400-year-old Yew tree, and then continue to Leeds Castle, where you’ll spend the rest of your afternoon.

Tour the pristine 12th-century castle with your guide, seeing highlights like the Banqueting Hall and Library, and try not to lose your way on a walk through the garden’s maze! Look inside the ground’s quirky Dog’s Collar Museum to see an eccentric collection of dog collars showcasing 17th-century canine couture, and then board your coach for your journey back to London.
