About This Tour
This all-inclusive private tour takes in some of Kent’s most beautiful spots, whilst stopping off at some of the lesser-known places associated with Ian Fleming, the creator of 007. Our search takes us from the golf course where Auric Goldfinger played James Bond to the home of Sir Hugo Drax; from the missile site below the cliffs where the Moonraker was launched to the village of Pett Bottom, where the young James was raised by an aunt! It is all right here in Kent! We will also see two of Ian Fleming’s real homes and head inland to visit one of his favourite pubs, where it is claimed he wrote ‘You Only Live Twice’. A light lunch is included en route. A must for all 007 fans!
