Introducing our Canterbury tours
Canterbury. Where murder made a martyr. Where Chaucer's pilgrims told their tales. England's holiest city, built on the world's most famous assassination.
In 1170, four knights split Thomas Becket's skull on the Cathedral floor. Three years later he was a saint. For centuries after, miracle-seekers flocked here from across Europe. Medieval writers immortalised their bawdy tales. Henry VIII may have destroyed the shrine, but the stones hold everything.
But tourists rush the Cathedral, miss the rest. The medieval gates. The 1,700-year-old Roman walls. The pubs where real pilgrims slept. The spots where heretics burned.
