Join your coach this morning and head towards the lovely county of Kent with comfort stops en route. On arrival at your comfortable hotel there will be time to settle in and relax. Perhaps enjoy a drink in the bar before your first included evening meal.

Enjoy a tasty breakfast each morning before setting off to discover some of the highlights of the Garden of England. Return to your comfortable hotel each evening in time for dinner. Your great included excursions take in the city of Canterbury and the market town of Faversham, along with our highlight visit to Chatham Historic Dockard with a Call The Midwife tour!

You’ll see just how Neal Street Productions transform 400 year old Chatham Dockyard into East London. Along the tour you’ll recognise the cobbled streets and buildings of ‘Poplar’ plus iconic locations such as the Grosvenor Hotel and ‘Chummy’s Hill’, where Nurse Noakes famously learnt to ride her bike. Your Call the Midwife Official Location Tour includes a 90 minute, guided Call the Midwife Experience and access to The Historic Dockyard Chatham including its fantastic collection of Historic Warships and Galleries on the day of your visit.

Please be aware: This is a walking tour with some uneven surfaces, please ensure you wear comfortable foot wear. It is wheelchair friendly but please advise us in advance if you have any mobility issues and you will be accommodated as best they can.

Immerse yourself in the rich history of the fabulous city of Canterbury, famed for its medieval buildings, quaint tea shops and magnificent cathedral. Having been a place ofworship for more than 1,400 years, the cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England and forms part of a World Heritage Site. Also enjoy some free time in Faversham, the oldest market town in the county and recorded in the Domesday Book. It is bursting with history and features gabled buildings nestling along the slowly lapping waters of a creek, the aroma of hops, the taste of freshness from surrounding orchards and fields. Wander through the market square that’s barely changed since the first Elizabeth held the crown, wander past the old barge sheds of a bygone time on the creek or sample the fruits of centuries of brewing craft at a pub offering more of Shepherd Neame's fabulous beers - or indeed any of the local micro-breweries.

After a final hearty breakfast it is time to say farewell today as you head homewards with time to relax on board and reflect on some wonderful memories and experiences.

Step into the heart of Chatham’s legendary ship building heritage and return to the ‘Age of Sail’, when the Dockyard built mighty ships that won command of the world’s oceans.

A visit to The Historic Dockyard Chatham - one of Britain’s leading maritime heritage destinations – is a guaranteed adventure. It's also your chance to walk in the footsteps of stars of the screen - box office smash hits including Bridgerton and Call the Midwife were filmed at the Dockyard. 

Climb aboard! Test your sea legs as you peer through the periscope of a Cold War Submarine, command the bridge of a WWII Destroyer and ring the ship’s bell on the deck of a Victorian Sloop.

Visit the award-winning Command of the Oceans interactive gallery and uncover the secrets of the centuries old ship beneath the floor. Imagine the crash of the waves as you explore the UK’s largest collection of RNLI Historic Lifeboats and delve into the treasure house that is No. 1 Smithery, home to incredible collections from Royal Museums Greenwich and Imperial War Museums.

Gain first-hand experience of life on a Victorian dockyard and walk in the footsteps of the master ropemakers who have been making rope for Britain’s ships on the quarter-mile-long ropery since 1618.
