With a history stretching back 1,400 years, Canterbury Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. King Henry IV and the Black Prince are buried here, while Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered inside in 1170. The Gothic-style architecture has amazing details to discover, from stained glass windows to impressive statues, while outside in the gardens you can still see the ruins of the Medieval monks’ dwellings. You can book on to a guided tour to learn more about the Cathedral’s history and there are trails and information sheets available to download from our website before you visit.
