White Cliffs of Dover & Historic Canterbury Day Tour from London

A day trip from London that combines a drive through Kent, stops at the White Cliffs of Dover and a visit to the historic city of Canterbury. The route covers two places in one day.

The trip takes in two places: the White Cliffs of Dover on the Kent coast and the city of Canterbury. The journey by road runs through Kent, with countryside and coastal views along the way. At Dover, there is about 1.5 hours to explore the coastal walk along the cliffs, and a stop on the promenade, where the cliffs can be seen from below and the stony beach can be walked.

In Canterbury, a brief walking tour points out the highlights of the ancient city. A visit to Canterbury Cathedral is optional and not included, so visitors can go inside or spend the free time elsewhere. Independent pubs, shops and cafés in the city are there to explore.

The day suits visitors passing through London who want to see the Kent coast and a historic cathedral city within a single outing, and anyone happy to spend time outdoors on the cliff walk.
