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!’
