Cathedral superb - also the guides. Very disappointing that the other two world heritage UNESCO sites were closed - and not because of season. The Canterbury Tales Museum also closed. Canterbury a beautiful City that feels it needs a face-lift!

I live in Canterbury and its one of the best cities that I've been in, in the UK. It's got history, architecture, theatre, music, pubs, greenery and plenty of child friendly play areas! Certainly worth a weekend visit or even a day trip!

Excellent place to visit with younger kids - the riverside parks are lovely and the size of the town makes it explorable and adventurous without it being too big. Tons of great charity shops to explore, and of course amazing history.

Cathedral is awe inspiring. City has many architectural gems with pleasant riverside walks. Numerous eating establishments and excellent pubs. However, remember this is a university city and evenings can be quite noisy.

Canterbury is picturesque and fun to walk around. Dining options are many and varied. We enjoyed going to Evensong at the Cathedral. (5:30 pm every evening except Thursday, I believe)

Great food options, but be prepared to drop cash if you want to do the touristy things - £11 to get into the Cathedral and £12 to see the Abbey..

A lovely location in central Kent, we used it for an anniversary weekend to see Canterbury and also the surrounding coastal areas which was easy to do by bus and train which we preferred rather than driving.

"Had a wonderful stay at The Pig in Bridge.
Enjoyed a large bedroom suite with great views over the garden, the food was exceptional. The fresh whole John Dory for 2 was exceptional.
The produce garden is certainly worth an early morning stroll before a full Pig breakfast.
The staff made us feel very welcome and it will be on our list to return."
"A friendly staff, comfortable room, affordable prices and excellent location make this a great place for a good night’s sleep in Canterbury. We could see the Cathedral tower out of our window."
"Well its owned and on the cathedral property. Wow I did not know that. It was a unique experience and close to the main streets. It was a great place to sleep next to the cathedral. It was cool to go to breakfast and see a priest or other parishioner getting ready to start a conference or some other worthy activity, not that that was the exclusive attendance of the hotel."
