In the gardens of Leeds Castle

Our adventures took us to Leeds Castle and Canterbury in the southeast.  Leeds Castle has evolved over 900 years and is situated on the water in a the beautiful countryside.  After touring the castle interior, we found the maze and tried to find the way to the center.  Eventually, all were successful.  The exit of the maze is through the grotto, a colorful and eerie tunnel underneath the maze.

Canterbury Cathedral

Then it was off to Canterbury and the Canterbury Cathedral, the home of the Church of England and the site of Archbishop Thomas Beckett’s vicious murder in 1170.  Since, the Cathedral has attracted thousands of pilgrims–several stories of which were told in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.

The Cathedral is breathtaking, with huge vaulted ceilings throughout and impeccable stained glass windows, some dating back to the 12th century.
