Canterbury City Guide |
| Canterbury is a major tourist city, second only to London. Canterbury is situated in Kent and its name derives from the Old English Cantwarebyrig - literally "fortress of the men of Kent". It is a cathedral city and is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the primate of the Church of England. The cathedral is of great historical significance - it was the scene of the murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170, and the burial place of King Henry IV and Edward the Black Prince. |
