Hellfire Corner
A WWII-themed tour of the south-east coast of Kent including a visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial. Hearing the stories about Folkestone and Dover between 1940 and 1944 and visiting the Battle of Britain Memorial will help you appreciate the huge sacrifice this area made for the Allied victory. The tour finishes with afternoon tea in picturesque St Margaret’s Bay, a photographer’s paradise located underneath the magnificent White Cliffs.
This tour can be extended with a guided visit to Dover Castle, often described as 'The Key to England'. The entrance includes a guided visit to the Secret Wartime Tunnels cut deep into the White Cliffs, where Operation Dynamo was masterminded.

Kent Coastal Experience
This tour is focussed on experiencing the unique natural features of our region and learning about its local flora and fauna. Listen to stories about the iconic White Cliffs and the infamous English Channel as you enjoy a spectacular walk along the White Cliffs from Kingsdown to picturesque St Margaret´s Bay. After pausing to sample some homemade specialities in an eco-friendly tearoom, drive past Dover Castle on the way to the unique Samphire Hoe nature reserve created during the construction of the Channel Tunnel. Enjoy an informative talk given by one of the rangers, followed by a walk along what is one of Britain´s newest and most dramatic sections of coastline.
Half-day tour (up to 5 hours)
In Search of the Real James Bond
This tour takes in some of Kent’s most beautiful areas, while stopping off at some of the lesser-known places associated with Ian Fleming, the creator of 007. Learn about the real Ian Fleming and how his life bore an uncanny resemblance to that of his most favourite character, James Bond.
Our search takes us from the golf course where Auric Goldfinger played James Bond to the home of Hugo Drax, from the missile site where Moonraker was launched to Pett Bottom, where the young James was raised by an aunt. It is all right here in Kent! During the tour, we will make an en-route stop for a bite to eat, see the historic town of Sandwich, two of Ian Fleming’s actual homes, plus the country pub where he drafted ‘You Only Live Twice’. A must for all 007 fans!
