On our way from Broadstairs to Bath we stopped off and visited Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral.
Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses.
Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Canterbury Cathedral is considered to be one of finest in Europe and if the admission price is anything to go by that would be true. 12.50 pounds per person. We thought that was pretty steep.
Exploring the town’s narrow medieval alleyways, riverside gardens and ancient city walls is a must. You can also take a punt along the river. We didn't as we have already done that in Cambridge and we were a bit pressed for time.
