Canterbury Cathedral is a truly awe-inspiring structure. It doesn't begin well with the entrance…read moresquashed into a market square of shops but once you're inside the beauty or the building is obvious. I don't know much about architecture so I can't tell you what style it is built in but even to an amateur eye it is spectacular. You are allowed to tour the entire building and usually there are guided tours by local residents. On Sundays there are no tours but audioguides are available in a selection of European languages. Things to watch out for is the plaque commemorating the volunteer fire wardens who kept watch over the cathedral during WW II, the extraordinary memorial to Thomas Becket, murdered Archbishop of Canterbury, and the inner sanctum where you can see the seats of the Cardinals. Though my personal favourite cathedral is Lincoln, Canterbury is well worth a visit.

Reculver Towers is the remains of a 12th century church, which is located on the remains of Roman…read moreand Saxon buildings. The Towers themselves are perched on the top of a large cliff, which has been heavily eroded in the past and is the reason why there are only partial remains of the church left standing. Due to its location on the north coast, the towers lend themselves to some lovely photographs with the sunset to their rear and the sea to one side. There is a large stony beach at the base of the cliffs, which is ideal for dog walking rather than bathing, as the Thames Estuary leaves it somewhat muddy. Also be aware that the tide can come rather far in at certain times of the year, partially cutting off some areas at the base of the cliffs!! There are reputed to be a decent number of fossils to be found along the beach, especially following storms, though me and the dog have never found anything exciting. There is ample parking in the vicinity of the towers, good paths suitable for wheelchairs and buggies along the cliff top. There is also a pub very close by and a small shop/amusements arcade associated with the nearby caravan park. All in all, a nice place for a picnic or for a stroll.

Before or after seeing Canterbury Cathedral, take some time in Buttermarket Square. Literally in…read morethe shadow of the Cathedral, Buttermarket is a great area for shopping, listening to the buskers perform, or checking out the famed WWI War Memorial Statue. With more than 500 years of history, the Square has served many different purposes. In its early years, it was known as Bull Stake ... bulls were tied up overnight to keep the meat tender before they met their great demise. Rumors and written history suggest there was a theater here once, and, during its time directly connected to the Cathedral, an escape tunnel for monks. And, of course, for many a-century, it was an actual butter market. If interested in the history of the Square, there's the Old Buttermarket Pub. Good eats, too! The most meaningful piece of history is the WWI War Memorial in the center of the square. A plaque reads: In grateful commemoration of the officers non-commissioned officers and men of canterbury who gave their lives for God, King and Country in the Great War 1914-1919. This memorial was erected by their proud and thankful citizens. "True love by life true love by death is tried; live thou for England we for England died" With the shops, pub, memorial and the rest, Buttermarket Square a great place to stop before going or after seeing the great Canterbury Cathedral.
