The first Church of England, this historic gothic-style cathedral dates back to 597, which served as a rich and powerful monastery of Benedictine monks in the 12th century.

Visited to explore the grounds and the interior, booked one of the local guides to take us on tour and this added such a nice insight into the history and fabric of the magnificent building. 100% enjoyable and well worth the charge, its a must for anyone visiting this part of the UK.

If you are exploring the Canterbury World Heritage Site, this is a must. Queen Bertha of Kent was a Frankish Princess. Her pagan husband gave her permission to follow her religion in an abandoned Roman church, which is integrated in the structure of this fascinating building. You can follow her daily walk out through the City Walls. Her husband was soon converted with the arrival of Augustine in Kent.
