Canterbury - 2000 år av historia.
Canterbury i sydöstra England har varit en viktig spelare i Englands historia sedan tiden då staden inte var mer än en romersk bosättning. Canterbury har idag en UNESCO världsarvsplats och är en av Storbritanniens kulturarvsstäder.
“I loved Canterbury, the Cathedral is stunning, the castle has a fascinating history and the Abbey is very interesting. A day trip there is a must.”
Anna, Brisbane
Canterbury was named one of Britain’s Heritage Cities due to its fascinating history and heritage. In 597 A.D. the Pope St Augustine came to Canterbury, to convert the region back to Christianity. In recognition of this, UNESCO granted World Heritage status to part of the city, including St Martin’s Church, St Augustine's Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral , which date back to that period.
Canterbury is a shopper’s paradise. On the historic streets of King’s Mile you can find a great selection of independent shops. Or hit the High Street to find a fantastic range of big name stores. And Whitefriars Shopping Centre is home to over 100 high street shops and restaurants.
Canterbury’s breathtaking cathedral has to be first stop on your visit. This World Heritage Site is also the site of the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket, who was murdered here in 1170. And don’t miss the Canterbury Tales Attraction , where the sights, sounds and smells of Chaucer’s medieval England are recreated.
