I took a day trip outside of London a few days ago to Leed's Castle, the town of Canterbury (where the Anglican Church is based), and to the town of Dover. All are on the south eastern tip of England. While at Leed's Castle we saw a group re enacting life and fighting during the English Civil War, which was quite an interesting experience, photos of course are below. We did not spend that much time in Dover, so I hope to go back for a day on my own to explore.
The grounds of Leed's Castle
Yes there's a moat
an old wall
Some [English] Civil War re-enacters
The soldiers with their officer
The creepy looking Christ in the entryway to the road to Canterbury Cathedral
The Cathedral
outside by the cloisters
where the shrine to St. Thomas a Becket was before Henry the VIII had it destroyed
They have problems filling the seats too
Outside
The White Cliffs

I didn't know the English had a civil war. The white cliffs must have been breathtaking,but the apartment building to the left of the shot must have killed the moment.
A real moat too!
