Canterbury

Stay in a historic city with cobbled lanes, iconic cathedral views, and cosy cafés.

Discover Canterbury

Steeped in over two millennia of history, Canterbury enchants with its UNESCO-listed cathedral, cobbled medieval lanes and timber-framed houses that inspired Chaucer's tales. Glide beneath stone bridges on a River Stour punting tour, descend to Roman mosaics hidden below the city streets, and linger over artisan coffee on the vibrant King's Mile. With buzzy independent eateries, cosy riverside pubs and a lively theatre scene at The Marlowe, this compact city is the perfect springboard for adventures across East Kent.
