The city of Canterbury has a rich history, being inhabited since Paleolithic times. It was a Roman settlement from the 1st century and parts of a later Roman wall can still be seen in the town. The World Heritage Site of Canterbury Cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the Church of England, & the site of the murder of Thomas Becket, now revered as a saint & martyr. Entrance to the cathedral is included in the tour and you will also have free time to explore the city further.
We also visit the Dover Castle, nicknamed the ‘Key to England’ due to its position as guardian over the English Channel for more than 9 centuries, a strategic location for defending England against invasion from mainland Europe.
