Canterbury is an historic city in Kent, famous for its Cathedral and for being a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has been the centre of Christian worship for over 1400 years. During the Middle Ages it became a place of pilgrimage following the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket, in 1170. It is known for its historical buildings and pretty medieval streets. Although we were staying in the city, we didn’t really spend a lot of time here, preferring to visit areas we didn’t know so well, because we’ve visited Canterbury many times over the years, but I’m sure we’ll be back. The Waterstones is located in a modern building in the city centre. It used to be an Ottakar’s bookshop, as can be seen from the King Ottakar mural on the wall by the escalator, and Captain Haddock, both of whom come from Hergé’s Tintin books.

St George’s Tower
St George’s Tower is thought to be Norman. It was part of a church which was bombed during WW2, and the tower was all that survived.
