Canterbury, Kent -travel information and accommodation
Canterbury has been a hugely popular place to visit ever since it first became an important place of pilgrimage back in 1170, after the tragic death of Thomas Becket who was famously murdered in Canterbury’s great cathedral, by four of King Henry’s knights. This and the rest of the city’s fascinating history, beauty and its conveniently close location to London, has made it a must see site on many a tourist’s itinerary.
The River Stour runs through the heart of Canterbury making a riverboat tour a relaxing and rewarding way to see the city. Stunningly beautiful areas such as the Westgate Gardens and the Dane John Gardens make the perfect stop off point to enjoy a leisurely stroll or a pleasant picnic. Also as much of the city has been pedestrianised getting around on foot is without the hassle of traffic and its small enough to be able to cover most of the city in a day quite comfortably. If you prefer you can opt for an informative guided tour of the city by a member of the Guild of Guides, whose tours leave from the Canterbury Visitor Information Centre.
Despite the huge amount of bomb damage
to the south of the city during World War Two, much of
the original medieval city remains in the form of
impressive architecture and narrow streets. The Norman
town wall and castle are also of great interest but it
is undoubtedly the cathedral that attracts the attention
of every visitor to Canterbury and sets the tone for the
city.
