About this activity

Would you like a small high quality, private tour of Britain's three most iconic and inspirational sites in the South East with an expert local guide? Dr Anthony Medhurst will escort up to 7 people in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle to the evocative White Cliffs of Dover; the historic city of Canterbury and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cathedral; and WW2 Battle of Britain sites which tell the compelling story of how the country was saved from Nazi invasion by the Spitfire and Hurricane pilots of the RAF. Here you will obtain unsurpassed views of locations over which the Battle was fought; re-live the sights and sounds of an original fighter station and an original, unchanged, pub once frequented by aircrew in 1940. Here you can enjoy a drink and re-live the precious few hours of respite for those who survived the day's fighting.
