    It was a lovely trip. There is a good walk to the end of the cliff if you are coming by train. At places, the walk is naturally steep because it's a hill, so I won't prefer going on the hottest days. The best time I would say would be March-April or August.

    This is a very worthwhile church to visit. It was built in the Middle Ages, more than 1,000 years ago, and is one of the oldest Christian buildings in the UK. After years of expansion and renovation, it is quite magnificent. Gothic architecture, colorful glass, and the original appearance is preserved intact. It is a pity that there is no Chinese version of the audio guide at present.

    Visitors commonly mention its peaceful atmosphere, making it a lovely spot for a stroll or a picnic. The gardens run along the River Stour, providing picturesque water views, especially with the weeping willows and vibrant flower beds. The area is well-maintained, and it's a favorite for both locals and tourists who appreciate nature.

    The bunker of Dover Castle was the command post of the Dunkirk evacuation, and there was also an attached hospital. The view from the castle is excellent, you can see the sea, the city, and the castle green. There are not so many people, at least there is a lack of commercial facilities.

    In the quiet countryside of Kent, England, a fairytale castle has stood quietly for 900 years - here is Leeds Castle, the "loveliest castle in the world". It was once the private residence of six medieval queens, and was transformed into a royal palace by Henry VIII. Now it is known as the "Ladies' Castle", a romantic secret place where history and nature are intertwined. Cross the winding moat and touch the ancient stone walls of the Norman era. Every brick and stone hides a story: from the beacon tower of William the Conqueror to the magnificent palace of the Tudor Dynasty, every expansion of the castle is engraved with the mark of power and love. Look, under that Gothic stained glass window, did the young Henry VIII whisper with Queen Catherine here? Stepping into the castle, it seems as if time has gone back. The intricate oak carved dome, the sparkling Venetian glass chandeliers, the tapestries of Elizabeth I... The most stunning is the Gloriana Gallery - 2,000 handmade golden roses blooming on the ceiling, paying tribute to the golden age of the 'Virgin Queen'.
