Canterbury is England's most famous cathedral city and is
packed full of things to do. The medieval streets bustle with
life all year round and there is a diverse mixture of cultures,
history, literature, festivals, sports, shops, restaurants and
nightlife.
|
|
| Canterbury is a great place for international students to study
and there are numerous institutions at every educational level
to choose from.
|
|
| The cathedral and the nearby ruins of St Augustine's
Abbey are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and form the heart
of the city. The cathedral is well known for the martyrdom of
St Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to
1170, and is also the burial place of Edward the Black Prince, son
of Edward III and Prince of Wales from 1343 to 1376.
|
|
| At night Canterbury comes alive. It has some of the best
theatres outside London including the Marlowe, which puts on
many different plays, from post-West End to Shakespeare.
|
|
| There is also the choice of two cinemas to visit, many
wonderful pubs and restaurants and a number of bars and
nightclubs to try.
