About Canterbury
Canterbury is a historic cathedral city in Kent, with a World Heritage cathedral, medieval lanes, old city walls and punts on the River Stour.
Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Communion and the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Thomas Becket was murdered here in 1170, and pilgrims came to his shrine for centuries, the journey that Chaucer used for The Canterbury Tales. The cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church together form a World Heritage Site.
