Virtual Tours
Like other Professional Guides I am offering Virtual Tours of the places I find interesting and hopefully you will enjoy. You will learn not only the history but be able to exercise too should you then do the tour in your own time. I’ll give you the history and the sites on a video but you can choose what day and when you would like to visit the places, armed with the information. The tours will generally involve you walking for approximately 1 ½ hours at a normal walking place. If they are arduous or hazardous I will let you know.
- Folkestone – History and Art (enjoy this short “taster” of the full virtual tour!)
- Canterbury
- Dover Castle and the Constable’s Tower
- Sandwich – an Ancient Cinque Port
- Canterbury Cathedral
