To live in a city as historic as Canterbury is quite something: a walk to the pub can take me past one of the finest gothic cathedrals in Europe, and depending on choice, the pub itself may date back to Chaucer's day over six hundred years ago. Let me share a local's knowledge with you by introducing you to Canterbury's most historic highlights as well as several hidden gems off the main tourist drag. One of my favourite destinations outside of the city is the ancient Cinque port of Sandwich - reputedly home to more listed historic buildings than any other town in England - once the embarkation point for more than one medieval monarch crossing to France in the Hundred Years War and now a delightfully sleepy gem of a town with winding lanes and a fascinating mix of architectural styles. I shall let you soak up the ambience of this historic place before taking you even further back in time to one of the best-preserved Roman sites in Britain which lies just outside of Sandwich.
