Full Day Best of Canterbury Walking Tour

Let this proud local introduce you to one of Britain's most historic cities, one on which all of the members of English history's Hall of Fame - Celts, Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts et al - have made an impact or left a lasting mark. We'll encounter the good, the bad and the ugly in the city's colourful story, discovering how a bloody murder made Canterbury the fourth most renowned Pilgrimage destination in Christendom and how Tudor tyrants, Puritan zealots, parliamentary armies and Luftwaffe pilots brought waves of destruction to the city, from which it's always manage to rise anew. For a city of modest size, Canterbury really punches above its weight, being home to no fewer than three UNESCO World Heritage sites and four universities, giving it Britain's largest student population in Britain and a youthful dynamism that enlivens the ancient streets and lanes. I'll show you the best that Canterbury has to offer; whatever your tastes, there's something here for you.
