Canterbury’s Royal Heritage: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Despre activitate
Canterbury’s medieval streets echo with tales of the kings, saints and ordinary folk who shaped English history.
On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll hear the hidden stories behind the bustling city where ancient walls and cobbled lanes hold centuries of intrigue.
The tour starts at the magnificent Christchurch Gate, the entrance to the majestic Canterbury Cathedral, where pilgrims have flocked for centuries. I’ll take you beyond the medieval centre and show you the other two historic places that form Canterbury’s UNESCO World Heritage Site: St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church, which is England’s oldest site of continuous Christian worship.
You’ll follow the same streets where Roman legionaries once marched and see hidden gateways and ruined churches. The tour ends at St Augustine’s Conduit House, a masterpiece of monastic engineering, tucked away in a corner of the city that even locals rarely discover.
