Canterbury is best known in England for Canterbury Cathedral, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The River Great Stour runs through the historic centre, where medieval streets and surviving city walls recall the city’s long role as a religious and trading centre. The cathedral belongs to a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church; together, they trace Christianity’s early roots in England. Cathedral precincts, the high street and riverside walks give the compact centre life beyond its ecclesiastical heritage, while the University of Kent adds a modern presence.
