Canterbury is an enticing Cathedral City with a rich history in the County Of Kent, home to over 42 thousand people. It's set on the River Stour which flows through it's heart, where narrow winding cobbled streets are lined with houses from many centuries, and ancient Roman City Walls. Medieval Canterbury was the most important and busiest Pilgrimage site which has continued for centuries, after the brutal and bloody murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170. The majestic Cathedral commands the skyline, complete with the longest nave in Europe and was declared by Unesco a World Heritage Site. Gothic towers, memorable arches, and gem coloured stained glass windows are breath stealing. St Augustine's Abbey was built after he had successfully persuaded King Ethelbert of Kent to convert to Christianity in 597, both Ethelbert and his wife were buried there, today a chance the explore the site and browse round the Museum should be taken. The Canterbury Museum has treasure upon treasure to discover from Romans, Rupert Bear, and the Blitz, and certainly the fabulous 14th Century Westgate Towers should feature highly on everyone's list. Canterbury is also blessed with the oldest Saxon church in England which is dedicated to St Martin where time reverses in a flash, history oozes from every corner, William the Conqueror built a castle here, and although in ruins today it's worth the time to explore, King John was crowned here, and Chaucer immortalised Canterbury when he wrote his world famous Canterbury Tales. There is of course other treasures to uncover whether it's sailing up the river past the Old Weavers House and Medieval Ducking Stool, the colourful market, tempting shops in the White Friars Shopping Centre, or for uncovering that special something it has to be the antiques and collectables on offer, Romans, Saxon Kings, Norman Conquerors and Pilgrims have all been here, who will be next...
