Canterbury United Kingdom

Canterbury is probably the most famous cathedral city in England. About 60 miles from London, it attracts more than 2.5 million visitors a year. It's the spiritual home of the Anglican faith, and it has an absolute wealth of history. It has charming narrow streets and period architecture, the pedestrian high street has shops of every sort, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The town has pre-Roman and Roman origins and the first cathedral was built here in AD603. The skyline of the city is dominated by the magnificent cathedral, which can be seen from almost every angle. Canterbury is also famous because of Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' which tells the stories told by pilgrims on their way to Canterbury along the Pilgrims Way from Winchester. The city is on the River Stour and many of the old buildings can be seen on every street. Some of the city walls still remain and there is also a 14th century gate. Canterbury has everything a tourist could want really, fantastic architecture, museums, restaurants, and the famous cathedral, of course.
