Short Breaks in Canterbury

The city is rich with history and at the forefront of its treasures is the World Heritage Site, comprising the famous Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church. The cathedral is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture and is noted for its many beautiful medieval stained glass windows.
