THE CANTERBURY TALES VISITOR ATTRACTION

Advantages: Wonderful experience, excellently presented, combination of sounds, smells and sights
Disadvantages: Can be busy in summer

...one attraction in Canterbury, the Canterbury Tales Visitor Attraction. I have given Ciao a few product suggestions of late, but was advised to write about the attraction under the category of the nearest town, since they only wanted the major cities (Edinburgh, London etc) to have subcategories of attractions and museums. I’ve just explained this so you don’t rate me as UH straight off for writing about only one aspect of this fabulous ...
...everything that Canterbury had to offer, I would! I decided however that since this is one of my favourite places to visit whenever I return down south, it really was worthy of a mention in its own right.
*****

I am pretty sure that most people reading this will have heard of Geoffrey Chaucer, the author of the well known Canterbury Tales. These are a collection of stories told by a fictional group of pilgrims, on their way ... more

Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury

Advantages: A little bit of calm (and it's free!)
Disadvantages: It's tiny

Could one visit Canterbury and not feel the inexorable tug of the majestic Cathedral? The grandeur and beauty of the building and precincts are well documented and its history formidable. In 1170 four knights, believing themselves to be acting on the instruction of Henry II, murdered Archbistop Thomas Becket in the Cathedral. Until the destruction of his shrine in 1538 by Thomas Cromwell, the cathedral became a place of pilgrimage for the old and ...
...redemption in the presence of the shrine of the saint devoted to the poor and the needy. However, ice-cream vendors, jugglers, whining children, French coach tour groups and Japanese snappers can easily dominate a visit today. The hustle, the bustle, the queues and the elbows can all make for a demanding and sticky summer morning outing. I offer you an alternative pilgrimage: retrace the steps of the devoted, move through the crowds, pass down ...

Canterbury Cathedral - a fascinating building...

Advantages: Much more to see than you'd believe
Disadvantages: Can get a bit busy

...lucky when we went to Canterbury Cathedral: we were shown round by my cousin, who works for the Cathedral itself. But don't panic if your cousin doesn't work for the Cathedral - because there are guided tours available for anyone who wants to go in. Just look for the notice at the Welcome Centre. We used to live near York, and, naturally, York Minster was somewhere we'd been before. Well, look, this is NOTHING like York Minster. It's a huge site, ...
...of a monastery in the past, it's quiet and away from the traffic (unlike the Minster, as you'll know if you've been there). We were quite lucky when we went round; because there was a wedding going on in the crypt, we couldn't go in there, so we decided to go to the pub for lunch and come back later. This is actually the best thing to do, because if you try and do the whole thing in one gulp, it'll take you over two hours and you'll get a bit stone-building-blind. ...

Howletts Wild Animal Park

Advantages: large enclosures, saving rare breeds
Disadvantages: John Aspinall has passed away

This is one of the two animal park owned by the late John Aspinal. John was a great man with two passions....gambling and wild animals. He used his gambling to pay for his love of animals and what a fantasic result. John's aim has always been to breed endangered animals and release them back into the wild which he has achieved with great success. His great passions were the gorrillas and the tigers. A vast majority of the park is taken up with different ...
...and wolves and many more endangered animals. The most unusual thing abiut Howletts though has to be the fact that the keepers do actually go in with the animals and have physical contact with them. I know that keepers have been killed over the years, but these men have a passion to and they know the risks. The park has recently been taken to court by the local authority because of this, but after a long battle, I am pleased to say that the park won. ...

Advantages: Plenty of things to see

...depicting Chaucer characters in the Canterbury Tales attraction. The Cathedral and the Canterbury Tales are both well worth a visit although both can get crowded at times. The shops are wonderful either for quality goods or for picking up a souvenier of your visit. Most of the main names are there and several speciality shops as well. Plenty of places to eat and all in all a great place to visit. ...

Castle Arts - not just a gallery.

Advantages: Peaceful
Disadvantages: Lots of stairs

Only a short walk from Canterbury Castle, there is a fabulous new gallery called Castle Arts. It is quite unique as it is in an old building with lots of nooks and crannies and has an outside courtyard where some of the artwork is also displayed. There is also a basement coffee shop where at a reasonable price you can get a cup of tea and slice of cake and listen the strains of classical guitar music played by a young musician from the floor above ...
...There are some very unusual pieces of art such as a Medusa's head on display and all of these are available for purchase - I'm wondering if I'll ever get £250 together to buy the piece I like but I guess I will just have to keep having tea and cakes with it! ...

Review of Rochester (England)

Christchurch - a little piece of England in New Zealand

Advantages: Beautiful city
Disadvantages: Not very Kiwi

Christchurch is in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island and is the largest city on this island. Like the North Island's Auckland, it is a key arrival point and hub for international travellers. Christchurch is situated close to the East coast and to the West lie the immense flat sweeps of the Canterbury plains. These vast plains feel flat, even to me, a native of East Anglia. Their main use is farmland and they require regular wind blocks of tall fences of trees to stop the topsoil from blowing away. Named by the after Oxford's Christ Church (a college that one of the Canterbury Association went to), it was a colony sponsored by the Church of England about 150 years ago. Even today, the city centre has an extremely British in feel to it and even has a river Avon upon which you can go punting!The centre itself has ...

Review of Christchurch - New Zealand

Canterbury Cathedral

Advantages: Historical benefits,good attraction for all the family to learn about
Disadvantages: Mnay steps to climb.Apart form that none

Well as my Dover castle review seemed to go down rather well with ratings received, and this is a rather local attraction to me, I thought I would do a review won Canterbury cathedral. I can view this beautifully from my office window on my construction site, which I think is a privilege really. History of the Cathedral Well I should think most people know something about the cathedral and its history but I will merely scratch the surface of it in this review im sure? The Cathedral was founded in 597AD by St Augustine who landed on the south east corner of England as a missionary from Rome. St Augustine was given a site in Canterbury to set up his church and this was St Martins, which still stands today. This was given to him by the then King of England Ethelbert. This Church was used throughout the Roman occupation and in ...
