Canterbury
is England's most famous cathedral city; being the spiritual home of the Church of England. Famous
for Geoffrey Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales with the visitor attraction in St Margaret's Street giving us a glimpse of 14th century England. The city sits on the River Stour in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent. It is easily reached by train (London about 70 minutes away), sea (Dover approximately 20 minutes by car) and road, using the A2 and M2. The City of Canterbury has been welcoming visitors and pilgrims for thousands of years.
The beatiful Norman Cathedral, which is
in the middle of the city, still dominates the skyline as you approach from the North or East; giving 21st century visitors the same sense of awe as their medieval
counterparts must have had. Making a pilgrimage was an important part of medieval life and
pilgrims flocked to the Canterbury to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket; who was brutally
murdered at the behest of the king.
Today Canterbury
welcomes visitors from all over the world and has many attractions; with its many ancient buildings, shops,
bars and restaurants, it has retained both an old world charm and a cosmopolitan vitality.
The small and compact
Canterbury city
centre is closed to traffic during the daytime to enable the narrow streets and the many attractions to be
more safely reached by visitors to the area. From April to October guided walking tours are organised,
leaving from the Canterbury
Information Centre , which is located opposite the Cathedral.
A delightfully restful way to
see Canterbury and from a different perspective is by
taking a Canterbury river tour. Information about river tours can be found on line via
Canterbury Information
Centre.
Canterbury is famous for its festival that takes place every October. The Canterbury Festival
has performing artists and visitors from all over the world; mixing with local people offering a vibrant and varied selection of entertainment around the city.
Canterbury is very lucky to have two excellent theatres in the vicinity. Whenever
you visit either the
Marlowe or theGulbenkian
