Canterbury Cathedral

Canterbury is magnificent and sacred. Thank you for the experience.

I did my training in Canterbury, and for three years walked past this building everyday. At that time it was possible to come and go through the cathedral gate without having to pay. I also had my graduation ceremony in the cathedral, one of my best memories.

Walking around the inside it’s possible to see the tombs of various people from history including the Black prince, as well as the spot where Thomas Beckett was murdered.

It’s one of my favourite places in the world.

Canterbury Catherdral is more than impressive and photos do not do it justice. It is simply vast. My biggest tip is don’t be super cheap and buy the guide book. No, your entrance fee does not get you all of the information about things. So, cough up the money so you can know what you are seeing. Then, take your time and absorb some history.

If you should have the pleasure of visiting Canterbury Cathedral, be sure to stay for Evensong. The service begins, if memory serves, at about 5:30 daily. Your heart will sing for days after that experience!

I actually studied abroad in Canterbury, England for a semester. I walked passed this cathedral every day. It is absolutely beautiful. It’s impossible to get lost in the city. Just look around and walk towards the cathedral. You’ll make your way back to High Street in no time.
