What
can I see?
- Canterbury
Cathedral is the seat of the Church of England, the most important
cathedral in Britain
- Leeds
Castle, described as the "loveliest castle in the world"
|  |
|
Canterbury
is home to the most important cathedral in the UK and to the most
powerful clergyman in Britain, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The
Cathedral is the place where Archbishop Thomas a Becket was assassinated
in 1170. The town is small, compact and full of interesting sights
with ancient buildings housing modern shops. Leeds Castle is set
in the centre of a lake. Enter the castle, get lost in the maze,
wonder at the bizarre birds in the aviaries and stroll through
the tranquil gardens. A fabulous day of historical intrigue and
rich in English culture.
