What you can expect

  • From medieval lanes and pilgrim inns to the majestic Cathedral's Precincts, travel back in time as your guide regales you with stories and reveals how the city has evolved over the years on this 90-minute guided walking tour.
    Meet your Guide in central Canterbury in the historic Buttermarket, site of historic pilgrim inns, from where you will walk through the narrow cobbled lanes with their timber-framed buildings and see magnificent views towards the Cathedral.
    Admire the Crooked House, the Old Weavers' House and infamous ducking stool, and Eastbridge Hospital, a place of hospitality for Pilgrims since 1190. You’ll also see more modern architecture such as the Marlowe Theatre and its very own moving statue.
    Journey around the outside of the Cathedral, and where possible see the ruins of the old monastery and the grounds of the historic King's School.
    All of the guides are professionally qualified Green Badge City Guides. They are local and passionate about the city of Canterbury, with many wonderful stories to tell!
    Please note the tour does not go inside the Cathedral, but visits the grounds. Access to the Cathedral Precincts is subject to change.
