A Postcard from...
CANTERBURY
Less than an hour from London, Canterbury is a
world-famous cathedral city and was one of medieval
Europe’s great places of pilgrimage and knowledge.
With a vault of history and heritage, a treasure chest
of arts and culture and an abundance of outdoor
adventures, visitors are assured a memorable stay
in the city which was the backdrop to Chaucer’s
famous Tales.
Welcoming over one million visitors a year, Canterbury
Cathedral was the scene of the murder of Thomas Becket,
the Archbishop of Canterbury who was in conflict with
the King of England, Henry II, over the church’s rights and
privileges. Murdered by the king’s supporters, Becket was
canonised soon after his death and venerated as a saint
and a martyr by both the Catholic Church and Anglican
Communion with his shrine becoming a focal point
of pilgrimage.
The Cathedral houses many collections and archives and
with a team of volunteers guiding visitors through the
magnificent building and extensive grounds, it’s no surprise
Canterbury Cathedral is a number one visitor attraction as
well as being a place of worship and music.

An ideal place for visitors to continue their
Canterbury experience is at The Canterbury
Tales Visitor Attraction.
With a combination of live costumed
characters and entertaining audio guides,
it gives visitors a great introduction to the
city and its famous literary connection.
Once a roman cemetery and turned into a civic
park at the end of the 18th Century, Dane John
Gardens is well worth a wander. The city walls
border one side of the gardens and a gentle
walk to the top of the roman mound provides
excellent views over the city. Despite its city
centre location, the historic park creates a
sense of escape and on a summer day, the lime
tree lined avenue is a welcome shaded walk
leading to the park’s fountain. A bandstand hosts
traditional concerts and there’s a safe play place,
picnic area and a refreshments kiosk.
For the ultimate farmers’ market experience,
The Goods Shed is not to be missed. With
glowing reviews, it’s a sensory treasure chest of
successful British cottage industries showcasing
local produce; from the butchery and fish stall
to the veg stall via the bakery, the cheese maker
and the bottle shop.
The Telegraph described the restaurant as ‘a
scene that makes you wonder if you’ve died and
been whisked off to gastronomic heaven!’

A Postcard from Canterbury
The rustic beamed roof and beautiful Victorian
windows only add to the appeal of this foodie
Mecca. Make sure you leave with a bespoke
Goods Shed in a Box to help with
withdrawal symptoms!
For art lovers, Canterbury offers a range of
galleries and museums with the centrally located
Beaney House of Art and Knowledge offering a
varied programme, including interactive events
for all ages. The Marlowe Theatre welcomes all
the major tours, including hit West End musicals
while the Spitfire Ground hosts pop and
rock concerts.

For lovers of green spaces, the city’s Westgate
Gardens is a showpiece not to be missed. Dating
back to the Middle Ages, the gardens cover the
remains of the old Roman wall and London road
gate. There’s a Norman archway and a 200 year
old Oriental plane tree which is believed to be
the oldest specimen in the country. The Great
Stour runs through the park and as well as being
home to water vole, brown trout, kingfisher,
moorhen and heron, visitors can enjoy relaxed
chauffeured punts which can either focus on the
history or wildlife of the area.
VisitEngland/VisitKent
The Crab and Winkle Way is a must for cyclists.
There are plenty of cycle hire shops so the
seven mile ride from Canterbury to Whitstable
is a route visitors to the area can really enjoy.
Passing through the Kent countryside, the
journey is almost totally traffic-free and follows
the old railway line to the outskirts of Whitstable.
Highlights along the path include the 13th
Century Church of St. Cosmus and St.Damine
and the beautiful Blean Woods and Clowes Wood.
On arriving in Whitstable, enjoy a harbour
side view and the catch of the day at a local
restaurant or purchase your own from Whitstable
Fish Market, a dream visit for fish and
seafood lovers.

A Postcard from Canterbury
The Foundry Brew Pub in White Horse
Lane is a unique craft brewery based
in what was a Victorian Foundry which
produced cast metal items that were
shipped over the empire. Today, visitors
can enjoy supping a pint and tucking into
good pub food while watching production
in the display microbrewery.
As well as local beers, ciders, lagers and
world bottled beers, the team at the
Foundry Brew Pub love Gin so much
they make their own from scratch! Full of
Kentish flavours and brewed with the finest
English barley, the handcrafted and
un-filtered Gin includes eight tasty
botanicals, including hops and
apples from local farms.
