There has been a centre of population here for more than two centuries. Originally an iron age settlement of Celts near the river, it was settled by the invading Romans in the first century. Since then it has played host to northern germanic tribes, viking Danes on occasion, Normans from the north of modern France, strangers from the low countries and their rich blend of descendants.
This story is imprinted on the lanes and buildings of the modern City of Canterbury. A walk around this compact city in the company of a qualified city guide can bring its stories to life, so why not take a stroll with me and enjoy an hour or so discovering all that Canterbury has to offer, and tailor-made to your interests.
