About Canterbury
Canterbury takes 1 day to see: the cathedral, the mother church of the Anglican Communion and the site of Archbishop Thomas Becket's 1170 murder, is the main reason to visit. April-October is best. It's mid-priced by British standards. It was for centuries England's most important pilgrimage destination, immortalized in Geoffrey Chaucer's «The Canterbury Tales», and its cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
