London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/17/2012 -- Embark upon a mesmerising journey into Dickens’ life, placed in the context of the Victorian period, for an England tour you will never forget.

This very interactive experience really gives you the chance to become wholly transported into the sights and sounds of city landscape in the early 19th century. There are an extensive array of enlivening attractions worth discovering in Dickens World, as well as a cast of vibrant characters and protagonists from Dickens’ most celebrated works of literature.

Get carried away on the ‘Great Expectations’ dark boat ride – an intermingling of water and dry ride in one. Progress from the very bottommost depths of London's rat-infested sewers to a captivating flight across the rooftops of the city. The Haunted House of 1859 brings you vividly before the legendary character of Ebenezer Scrooge in addition to some of Dickens’ most infamous ghosts. There is something for all ages: children can occupy some time on a mission to uncover Fagin's Den, a concealed play area.

There is so much more on offer at Dickens World, from the "Haunted Man", Dotheboy's Hall School Room with touch screen technology, to the Olde Curiosity Shoppe, from a 4D cinema show in Peggotty's Boathouse to the Britannia Theatre – an enticing animatronic stage show – and much more.

Whilst you are in Kent, why not also spend some time delving into its other treasures? Visit Canterbury Cathedral, established by St Augustine and regarded as an enchanting attraction for visitors from far and wide. Since the Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered there in 1170, the Cathedral has been visited by thousands paying pilgrimage to this martyr. Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales was inspired, in part, by the cathedral.

Dover Castle is also a stunning landmark to visit when in Kent. It also holds immense historical sway and significance. After all, the Castle is widely called the ‘Key to England’: over 2,000 years of history have elapsed in its walls. The astoundingly beautiful Castle holds an impressive past and is, of course, situated above the world renowned White Cliffs.

Delve into the distinctive atmosphere of the Secret Wartime Tunnels, a celebrated visitor experience that reconstructs the feverish intensity and apprehension that surrounded the Dunkirk evacuation of May 1940. It was in these legendary tunnels that the desperate rescue operation, ‘Operation Dynamo’, would go down in history.  Juxtaposing original news-reels with theatrical film sets and high-tech special effects, 'Operation Dynamo' powerfully relives what Sir Winston Churchill famously called a “miracle of deliverance”.

Decide against a conventional London Tour when you travel England; instead, immerse yourself in a thrilling Dickens experience when you visit exquisite Kent. Kent abounds with attractions – ensure you become acquainted with some of its many charms.
