Canterbury Cathedral
T
Few places entice one like Canterbury Cathedral, few stories unfold in certain places that change the course of history. Events here changed the entire landscape of religion in England and gave us one of history’s most venerated saints, a saint who would haunt a king and force him to beg his forgiveness from the after life.
A pass to Canterbury Cathedral lasts a year and it is well worth your time and then some. Whilst at it visit the site of the oldest church in the English speaking world that still stands today; St Martin.
To worldly adventures that await us all!
