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
