canterbury


Canterbury, a city steeped in history, is indeed celebrated as a World Heritage Site. This recognition is due to its remarkable collection of historic structures, including the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, the oldest church in the English-speaking world - St. Martin's Church, and the ruins of St. Augustine’s Abbey. These sites collectively paint a vivid picture of Canterbury's rich religious and cultural tapestry, dating back to the arrival of Christianity in England. Visitors can explore the cathedral's stunning architecture, the church's ancient origins, and the abbey's medieval significance, all of which contribute to Canterbury's esteemed status in the UK's heritage.
