Welcome to Historic Canterbury

Canterbury has a history that goes back to the Romans, over 2,000 years ago. Famous even before medieval times as a great religious centre, the murder in the Cathedral in 1170 of Archbishop Thomas à Becket began a tradition of pilgrimage.

Today the city offers a blend of the modern and the historic, with ancient cobbled streets and architecture surrounded by excellent shopping facilities and a cosmopolitan mix of cafés and restaurants. The city is also close to the stunning beaches of the south coast and benefits from easy access to central London.
