Watch out ! Safety tips ON THE COACH
you should not stand or be seated improperly when the bus is moving.
You should always face the front.
Remember to keep the bus clean! You should not eat or drink in the bus.
Remember to be seated all the time ! British authorities are extremely severe on that
point and we might get a fine (to be paid by your family).
ON THE FERRY
Always stay with the group!
It’s not allowed to be on the outside decks without permission !
Do not run ! Do not make noise !
IN CITIES AND TOWNS
You must be very careful when walking in the streets, in small groups or in large
groups.
Always walk on the right side of the streets. Remember the vehicles are not coming
from the usual direction !
Never move aside when you are walking on the pavements !
Always look both ways before crossing !
ABOUT YOUR LUGGAGE
Be careful not to leave your luggage unattended ! It could cause useless alarm !
FREE TIME PERIODS

Make sure you know where and when the group is to meet after free times.
Make sure you know how to find your way back to the meeting point before
separating.

CANTERBURY, the town.
12
Canterbury, historic town and surrounding city in the administrative and historic
county of Kent, south eastern England.
The site of the town of Canterbury, which has been occupied since pre-Roman times,
was in ancient times the mouth of the River Stour, which broadened into an estuary
extending to the Wantsum Channel, the strait that once separated the Isle of Thanet
from the mainland.
The Roman town of Durovernum Cantacorum was established on the site after the invasion
of Claudius in 43 A.D. It was connected to London ( 55miles - 89km northwest ) and
to Dover ( 16miles – 26km southeast ).
The Town Wall was built by the Romans in about 200 and rebuilt in the Middle Ages :
parts of it still stand. Of the six medieval entrances to the town, only Westgate survives.

Maidstone : Leeds Castle and Park
A Norman Castle built on two islands on a lake and converted to a palace by Henry VIII.
It is often referred to as “ The Loveliest Castle in the World “ !
Over the centuries the castle has withheld sieges ; hosted the medieval Royal Courts of
Europe ; been a prison for witches, Kings and prisoners of war ; a munitions store and a
Hospital ; and welcomed some of the key figures in English history from Henry VIII to
Winston Churchill.
The castle has always been a palace to entertain and impress, with every generation leaving
its mark. Today’s interiors are the result of the massive refurbishment by European designers
throughout the 1920s and 30s for its last private owner, Lady Baillie.
