Canterbury, United Kingdom

Why Walk Canterbury

Canterbury Cathedral has been the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury — the head of the Church of England — since 597 AD. The murder of Thomas Becket here in 1170 made it one of medieval Europe's most important pilgrimage destinations, inspiring Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The compact old town within medieval walls preserves timber-framed houses and riverside gardens.
