Dorset

The Garden of England needs little introduction. Rolling green countryside cross-stitched with fruit-laden orchards and ancient fortresses like Sissinghurst and Leeds Castle, which gaze out across Britain’s oldest county…Kent makes for the perfect coach holiday destination. If you’re after a seaside retreat, then Folkestone is for you. Nestled on Kent’s Heritage Coast, it’s a wonderful place for harbourside strolls and chippy teas on the seafront, not forgetting its proximity to the medieval city of Bruges; just a short distance across the English Channel.

History fans will enjoy an excursion to the cathedral city of Canterbury. Its time-worn walls are crammed with plenty of medieval leftovers, photogenic timber-framed buildings and cobbled lanes befuddled with tea rooms and unique shops. Don’t miss your chance to peek inside the cathedral itself, where impressive architecture and world-famous stained-glass windows tell the story of this place of worship’s dramatic past.

Whether you fancy countryside, coast or city, a coach break to Kent has got the lot.
