1. Canterbury

The cathedral city of Canterbury is one of the most visited in the UK. Canterbury’s cobbled streets, timber-framed houses and ancient walls make it clear from the off that it’s teeming with history, heritage and culture. Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine’s Abbey are two of the popular attractions for visitors interested in the city’s long and interesting past. The King’s Mile, nestled beneath the city walls, is where you’ll find unique independent shopping and places to eat. To enjoy the River Stour, Westgate Gardens is a popular choice where you can walk, sit and relax or enjoy a punt on the river. For kids, a few miles out of the city you’ll find Howletts Wild Animal Park, which makes a brilliant day out.
