Join me on a journey through the medieval city of Canterbury, one of England's most historic cities. We explore its ancient gates, charming streets, and the astonishing Canterbury cathedral, showcasing the city's rich architecture and history. This UNESCO World Heritage site in Kent offers a glimpse into England's past.
Made famous by the canonisation of St Thomas Becket, Canterbury became an important site of pilgrimage from 1170. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales further embedded Canterbury in the story of England.
