YEAR LONG Activities
One of the highlights of a visit to the region is the famous 'Crab and Winkle' bike path that stretches form Canterbury to the coast.  We recommend that you take a look at Canterbury Cycle Hire on:  http://www.wcch.co.uk/Canterbury/en/Home.html or call 07791114529.  You can pick up your bike directly from the garden at the House of Agnes and you can even go one-way only if you are not very keen on riding all the way back!

 

For an unforgettable day trip, and only a half hour drive from Canterbury, try Leeds Castle (said to be the most beautiful castle in the UK).  Check the following link:  www.leeds-castle.com 

 

Many visitors to Canterbury would also like to know more about this area of Kent. 'Tours of the Realm' offer chauffeured sightseeing tours of rural and historic Britain for individual travellers or small groups of up to 6 people.  www.toursoftherealm.com or email enquiries@toursoftherealm.com

 

Combine a stay at the House of Agnes with a visit to the fabulous MARLOWE THEATRE which opened in October 2011, with some of The UK's biggest and best touring shows and performances.  Check out the fabulous autumn-spring season on www.marlowetheatre.com

 

One of the many interesting things you can do whilst in the area is to visit the Shepherds Neame Brewery in nearby Faversham.  At the House of Agnes we're proud to serve a variety of their wonderful local beers and you can go one step further... By experiencing a Brewery Tour where you can go behind the scenes of a busy working brewery as well as learn some of the history of beer-making... not to mention the tasting at the end !!!  Well worth the visit.
