Universities and countryside

England’s most famous Cathedral city, Canterbury is home to two universities with 20,000 students. Canterbury Cathedral lies at the centre of the historic city in the heart of Kent. Kent is rightly known as the Garden of England and the area of countryside around Canterbury has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The name Canterbury derives from the Old English Cantwarebyrig, meaning "fortress of the men of Kent". The bury element is a form of borough, which has cognates in words and place names in virtually every Indo-European and Semitic language, as well as others.

Bars and clubs

A Motte and Bailey castle was constructed in Canterbury by the Normans soon after the Norman Conquest, but this was soon replaced by the stone keep of Canterbury Castle which still stands today.
After dark there is still plenty to see in Canterbury. There are many busy cafes, bars, clubs, pubs and a modern shopping centre; you will really enjoy this city whether you're here for 2 weeks or 12 months!
2 major European capitals are within easy reach (London-Victoria 90 minutes; Paris Gare du Nord 2.5 hrs).

Famous architecture

The charm of the narrow streets and period architecture, the pedestrian high street with shops of every description make this City a charming place completely interesting to know. There are as well, large formal and informal gardens in which to escape the bustle of the high street. With all these features, Canterbury welcomes almost 3 million visitors each year and there's always something to see and do.
