About Canterbury
Canterbury is a historic Cathedral city which lies on the River Stour in Kent, South East England. It became a place for pilgrimage after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket was murdered at the Cathedral in 1170. The pilgrimage became the theme of Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales. Today Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England and symbolic head of the worldwide Anglian Communion. Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most visited sites in England drawing in one million visitors a year which contributes greatly to the city's economy. The city is 61 miles from central London and just six miles from the coastal towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable. It is just 45 miles from the M25 and is by-passed by the A2 London to Dover Road.
Projects which have been hugely beneficial to the city's economy include the Canterbury Enterprise Hub, Lakesview International Business Park and the development of Whitefriars Shopping centre. The town has more than 4,500 businesses and greatly benefits from tourism which injects more than £250 m to the city's economy.
Apart from Canterbury Cathedral, other city landmarks include the city wall which was founded in Roman times, ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and the ruins of the Norman Canterbury Castle, both of which are open to the public. Canterbury also has The Westgate, which was a former jail and is now a museum and The Kings School which is thought to be the oldest school in England.
In 1830 Canterbury and Whistable railway opened and became the world's first regular passenger steam railway, until its closure in 1953.The town has two railways, Canterbury East and Canterbury West which both have services to London. It has four universities: The University of Kent, Canterbury Christchurch University, The Girne American University and the University College for the Creative Arts.
