This alignment stretches from Deal Castle in Kent to Abbey Dore in Herefordshire. It features a remarkable sequence of religious, political, and military centers of power, including 10 Downing Street, St. James’s Palace, and several Royal Air Force bases dating from the Second World War.
According to British researcher David Furlong, this leyline begins at Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the Anglican Church. I nevertheless chose to draw it from Deal Castle, a fortress built by Henry VIII on the shores of the English Channel.
Symbolically, England’s centers of civil and spiritual power therefore appear to be protected by a chain of land, naval, and air fortifications. In addition to Deal Castle and the RAF Brize Norton base, which is still in operation, the alignment includes the Chatham Naval Memorial, an obelisk commemorating sailors of the Royal Navy. This monument is part of the Great Lines, which were laid out to protect the shipyards of the British Empire.
Finally, David Furlong points out that the Canterbury leyline closely follows the road network southeast of London, running parallel to the ancient Roman road known as Watling Street, which would place its origin around AD 43.
