England's most famous cathedral city, Canterbury, sits in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent. By train, it is less than one and a half hours from London and two and a half hours from Paris via Ashford International Eurostar terminal or just 30 minutes drive from the channel ports of Dover and Folkestone. 

With part of the city designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Canterbury today is a delightful mixture of architecture, history, arts and culture, museums, shops of every description, visitor attractions and good restaurants and pubs.

Canterbury Cathedral has a tradition of visitor welcome that reaches back to the days of medieval pilgrimages. This is not only fully maintained today, but has been developed to meet the needs of modern tourists.

To all our visitors we extend a warm welcome and hope that you will make your own pilgrimage to Canterbury to share with us the experience of this, one of the great holy places of Christendom.
