Rich in history and a spiritual destination, the Canterbury Cathedral should be high on your list of places to see. The cathedral dates back to 597AD, when it was established by Augustine, who became England's first archbishop.
Archbishop Thomas Becket's murder here in 1170 and subsequent stories of miracles that took place led Canterbury Cathedral to become a site for religious pilgrimages.
As the literati will acknowledge, Geoffrey Chaucer's - The Canterbury Tales is a classic book that relates the tales of various people making their way to Canterbury.
- Pros:Beautiful Cathedral
- Cons:Not much in the rest of the town to see
