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.
