Canterbury and Whitstable. If you choose to stay in one of these seaside cottages

The city of Canterbury boasts many historical and cultural attractions within
its walls. This Roman city is overlooked by its magnificent cathedral. Over 1
million visitors each year visit the mother church of the Anglican community, a
world heritage site, to marvel at the beauty of its stunning architecture, to
discover some of its historical past or to enjoy a quiet moment in an otherwise
bustling city. St, Augustines Abbey, the ruins of Canterbury Castle, and
Canterbury’s many museums and cultural attractions also tell you about the
city’s amazing history.
Canterbury also boasts a vibrant and active arts scene with the Marlowe and
Gulbenkian theatres, art galleries and a variety of music events. The city comes
alive every October with its multi arts festival. Canterbury also has plenty for
sports fans as St. Lawrence cricket ground within the city, is regularly used
for Kent CCC and, on occasion, England games.
The streets of Canterbury are lined with an eclectic mix of shops, cafes,
restaurants and bars. You can take a break from the high street in one of the
parks within the city centre or maybe even relax on a boat trip along the River
Stour.
Not far from Canterbury is the unspoilt seaside town of Whitstable. The town,
famous for its oysters, is known as the ‘Pearl of Kent’. The maritime heritage
of the town is celebrated with the oyster festival in July. There are several
seafood stalls, a market and restaurants in the town for you to sample the
‘fruits de mer’. The town’s beaches, which flank its harbour, are perfect for
sunbathing and swimming. Sailing trips are available to, amongst other places, a
seal watching spot in the Thames Estuary. Whitstable is also a popular
destination for watersport enthusiasts and hosts the national waterski
championships.
