Best Canterbury Tours & Trips
The ancient English town along the Stour River is home to the oldest cathedral in England and dates back to prehistoric times. The Kent city's Canterbury Cathedral was a destination for Christian pilgramages after the 1170 murder of Saint Thomas Becket and was an inspiration for the Geoffrey Chaucer book "The Canterbury Tales." In addition to the Canterbury Cathedral, the remains of St. Augustine's Abbey and St. Martin's Church are a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site.
