Canterbury Day Tour for Solo Travelers

🍀Canterbury Day Tour, recommended route: Westgate Gardens - Cathedral - High Street - St. Augustine's Abbey 🍀Westgate Gardens (Pic 2) is about a 10-minute walk from Canterbury Train Station. Take a stroll along the river, rest under the trees, and enjoy the beautiful flowers in spring and summer. You can take a punt up the Great Stour River that flows through Westgate Gardens, and enjoy the natural scenery and the town on both sides of the river, as well as the leisurely life of the locals. Next to the garden is the Westgate Towers Museum and Viewpoint, which is open from 12:00 to 15:45 from Monday to Friday and Sunday. Tickets are £13. The 60-foot-high Westgate (Pic 3) on the city wall is the largest existing city gate in England. It was built with rubble around 1379 and is the last survivor of Canterbury's seven medieval gates. It is well preserved and is one of the unique landmarks of the city. 🍀Through the city gate is the bustling High Street, which is about 800 meters long. The main ancient city scenery of Canterbury is on this street, and there are many restaurants and shops (Pic 1, 6, 7, 8, 9). 🍀Canterbury Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit place in Canterbury. It is very spectacular and beautiful (Pic 4). 🍀St. Augustine's Abbey was built in 1500, but was gradually demolished after 1538. Now only some architectural ruins remain, and it is listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site. 📌Address: Longport Canterbury CT1 1PF 📌Time: 10:00-17:00 daily 📌Ticket: £8.5 🍀If you have time, you can visit the "Crooked House" (Pic 5) 📌Address: Canterbury CT1 2DZ
