Canterbury stands in the valley of the Stour and has so much to offer that a few words here can not do it justice. A historic city and a place of pilgrimage, full of lovely old timber framed buildings from the 16th and 17th century. The heart of the city is the Norman cathedral which dominates the skyline. Canterbury is England's most famous cathedral city and as of years gone by  when pilgrim's flocked to the city to visit the shrine of the Archbishop of Canterbury,  Canterbury still welcomes visitors from all four corners of the globe.

Other places to visit include the award winning Heritage museum, Roman Museum, the Canterbury Tales Centre, St. Augustine’s Abbey and the West Gate Museum.

Canterbury, England's most famous cathedral city of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and now a UNESCO world heritage site  sits on the River Stour in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent. It is easily reached by road, rail or sea, and has been welcoming visitors for thousands of years.

The Norman cathedral still dominates the skyline as you approach the city, giving 21st century visitors the same sense of awe as their medieval counterparts. Making a pilgrimage was an important part of medieval life and pilgrim's flocked to the city to visit the shrine of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
 Today Canterbury still welcomes visitors from all four corners of the globe and has, with its many ancient buildings, shops, bars and restaurants, retained both an old world charm and a cosmopolitan vitality.
The small and compact city centre is closed to traffic during the daytime to enable the narrow streets and the many attractions to be more easily and safely accessed by visitors. From April to October guided walking tours leave from the Canterbury Information Centre where you can buy your tickets
