Battle, Dover and Canterbury

A nice long weekend means a trip somewhere, so trying to save some money, we headed to Dover which is only about an hour and halfs drive from London. On our way to Dover we visited Battle, where the Battle of Hastings took place. It was hard to imagine the battle taking place and the armies fighting eachother in such a barbaric way.

Looking out at Dover as you can see it was very windy!

While visiting the cliffs our mobile phones thought we were in France, as Dover is the closest point in England to France (about 18 miles) We got sent a text to welcome us to France.. so we can say we have been to France!

We spent two lovely nights in Dover (there wasnt alot going on at night) and on our last day, while travelling back home, we stopped by Canterbury. Really cute little town and very pretty.
Cute little street with the Canterbury Cathedral in the background
Canal where you could take a lovely boat ride or go punting
Canal - see if you can spot the stone ladies in the canal...
