Once we arrive at the city, our walk will include: Cathedral visit (tickets are not included) where we will admire the gothic architecture of the nave, find out about the murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury, go down to the Norman crypt, and much more. We will get to know this ancient city by walking through old market lanes, passing city gates, Weaver’s house, hospitals for pilgrims, and monasteries. We will go on a picturesque walk by the river and see for ourselves why Canterbury is often called Little Venice. There will be literature connections to Jeffrey Chaucer, Christopher Marlow and Charles Dickens.
