South-East England: Brighton, Canterbury & the Kent Coast with your class
South-east England offers an unusually rich mix of landscapes and heritage within a short radius of each other. Brighton brings Victorian seaside culture, independent boutiques, and a thriving arts scene. Canterbury offers one of England's greatest Gothic cathedrals and 2,000 years of layered history. The Kent coast, white cliffs, wartime tunnels, and the narrowest point of the Channel, adds geography and contemporary history to the mix.
Trip highlights
Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the defining monuments of English religious and cultural history
White Cliffs of Dover and the wartime tunnels, iconic landscape combined with a powerful introduction to the Second World War
Brighton seafront and the Royal Pavilion, Regency architecture, beach culture, and one of England's most distinctive cities
