CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL

Discover England’s First Cathedral

With new visitor experiences, talks and tours and family-friendly activities, now is the perfect time to discover Canterbury Cathedral – UNESCO World Heritage Site, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and resting place of saints and royalty.

Whether seeking out stone dragons and grotesques, admiring the medieval stained glass windows – including the oldest in Britain -  marveling at carved tombs, or exploring the Cathedral’s stunning Cloisters and green spaces, there’s plenty to do. You might even be lucky enough to spot the peregrine falcons - the fastest animals in the world!- that make the Cathedral their home.

You can even see up close in the Cathedral's Crypt exhibition unique artefacts from its incredible history, including the armour of fearsome medieval warrior, The Black Prince.

And we also welcome well-behaved dogs inside the Cathedral! (T&Cs apply)
