Things to See and Do in the Canterbury district

The Canterbury district offers you so much to see and do during your stay with a huge variety of attractions and indoor and outdoor activities to suit all tastes and interests.

With a cathedral city at its heart, Canterbury's surrounding countryside dips and sweeps through river valleys, woods and hills to the seaside towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable.

Take a look through the pages in this section to find out about things to do in the area, including villages used for period dramas, and the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You will find a wonderful, quirky individualism in Whitstable, traditional charms in Herne Bay and a truly inspiring city of Canterbury. 

We hope you will be tempted to stay for a while and take your time to explore our glorious countryside, dig deep into our history and heritage, go shopping, relax and soak up the atmosphere, enjoy some seaside fun, bask on our beaches or bathe in waters that lap more than 80 miles of coastline.
