Canterbury, Medieval cathedral city in Kent, England
The streets of Canterbury contain Roman walls, timber-framed houses, and stone buildings that line the banks of the River Stour.
Canterbury Cathedral became a major pilgrimage site after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket within its walls in 1170.
The King's School, established in 597 and located near Canterbury Cathedral, maintains its status as one of England's oldest educational institutions.
The city center provides multiple paid parking areas, bus services, and two railway stations connecting directly to London and coastal destinations.
The Canterbury Tales Medieval Story Garden presents life-sized character reconstructions from Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th-century literary masterwork.
