Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.
River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.
From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.
In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

Vibrant cathedral city with a wide variety of shops and eating places. Sadly two of its three city centre department stores have gone. Plenty of tourinst attractions including a sizeable theatre with a varied programme of shows and concerts.

I know Canterbury very well as I used olive there for 6 years. it is well worth visiting, but can get very crowded. Best to visit at quieter times of year, not in summer.
Easy to get around on foot. Good bus service to other parts of East Kent.
Eating places to suit all sorts.

Gets a bit crowded like London you get a lot of tourists to see the cathedral, but I have never seen so many shops in the high street and loads of pubs and places to eat. Lovely walks around the park and river you can go punting on the river

Continental breakfast was very good with excellent choice of food available. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved the city centre location so close to the many attractions Canterbury has to offer, and literally right opposite the Marlowe Theatre which couldn't be more convenient when seeing a show there. My second stay at the Pilgrim Hotel and will definitely be back!
The staff are great , very knowledgeable and friendly
We had use of the swimming pool and towels provided . The pool and area was very clean and provided towels . Lovely breakfast in the morning . Only a short walk from the town centre and we also had a parking spot in the hotel car park.
The hotel is located just outside of Canterbury city centre on beautiful grounds. The room was spacious, beautifully furnished and the bed was extremely comfortable. The cooked breakfast was excellent.
