The
city of Canterbury is one of the most beautiful cities not just in Kent but in
all England.
The town centre itself consists of many cobbled winding streets brimming with
boutiques and shops selling every possible produce from locally made fudge to
exotic furniture.
There
are a number of excellent places to visit in this city including the amazing
Cathedral built in 597 AD by St Augustine. Guided tours are available and
are both interesting and informative.
Another
of Canterbury's more unusual places is the Canterbury Tales , a fun look
at the short stories that made Geoffrey Chaucer and Kent famous.
Sandgate a quaint little town 5 minutes from the hotel. Famed for its antique shops and beach.
Hythe is a little further along the coast with its range of individual shops and a twice weekly brik a brak market.
Cutting the town in half is the Royal Military Canal built to stop Napoleon from invading, however nowadays it serves a
far quieter occupation taking small row boats lazily up and down through the beautiful scenery.
Another local treasure is the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch District Light Railway,
one of only a few of these miniature steam train rides still running.
* The Martello Towers, Folkestone - Britain's first line of defence in the World Wars
* The Warren nature reserve
