Start the excursion with a visit to the renowned Battle of Britain Museum, located on the site of the actual aerodrome from where Spitfires and Hurricanes took off during the Battle of Britain. We continue via the Edwardian seaside resort of Folkestone, and drive along the elegant Leas promenade to its historic harbour, from where millions of soldiers left in World War 1. Next visit the poignant Battle of Britain Memorial overlooking the English Channel before passing through Dover overlooked by its imposing Norman Castle. We soon reach picturesque St Margaret's Bay nestled underneath the spectacular White Cliffs. To complete the experience, we enjoy morning or afternoon tea at a local tearoom, where we learn about 'Hellfire Corner', as this corner of Kent was called in WW2.
