A UNESCO world heritage site, Canterbury is a great mix of heritage city, lovely countryside and coastline. A place of pilgrimage after Thomas à Beckett was famously murdered here in 1170; its famous Cathedral tops a list of super attractions that include abbeys, castles, museums, parks and river tours. With the coastal towns of Herne bay and Whitstable just a short drive away and loads of luscious countryside to enjoy, a cottage holiday in Canterbury really can offer something for everyone.
Buy an ‘Attractions Passport’ and save money whilst visiting the Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey, the medieval Canterbury Tales and more. Relax and learn about this great city on one of the award-winning guided tours through the heart of the city on the River Stour. Further afield visit vineyards and take the kids on a wonderful enchanted walk in Druidstone Park, not forgetting the lovely beaches of Herne Bay. Cyclists check out the picturesque 50-mile circular ‘Coast to Cathedral’ route.
