Canterbury Cathedral is an absolute marvel of architecture and history, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment you set foot on the grounds, you are transported to another time and place, surrounded by stunning Gothic architecture and steeped in the rich cultural and religious history of England.

Every detail of the cathedral is breathtaking, from the intricate carvings and stained glass windows to the soaring vaulted ceilings and meticulously maintained gardens. The sense of peace and serenity that permeates the cathedral is truly awe-inspiring, and I found myself completely absorbed in the beauty and history of the place.

The knowledgeable and friendly staff are a testament to the cathedral's commitment to hospitality, and their willingness to share their expertise and passion for the cathedral's history and significance only adds to the overall experience. Whether you are a history buff, a religious pilgrim, or simply a lover of architecture and beauty, Canterbury Cathedral is an absolute must-see destination. I cannot imagine a more perfect way to spend a day than exploring this magnificent cathedral and all that it has to offer.

I beautiful old cathedral built in the Romanesque style. It is 1000 years old and absolutely amazing. The acoustics are incredible. A choir was singing and we could hear the songs even in the crypt. The don’t build them like this any more.

The cathedral has great history (even a grisly murder) and famous people buried within.

You approach the castle through the town of Canterbury, which has lots of shopping and food options. The town and cathedral draw a lot of traffic, so be prepared to wait in the weekends. We rented a car and made the drive ourselves and it wasn’t bad but if the thought of driving on the wrong side of the road isn’t appealing, there are many tour groups who go to Canterbury.

The trip was fun and I would recommend a visit.

Our recent visit to Canterbury Church was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of this historical gem.The church's stunning architecture and rich history immediately captured our attention. The beautiful stained glass windows and ornate decorations added to the sacred atmosphere, making it a perfect place for reflection and prayer.
Upon entry, we were warmly greeted by the staff, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the ticket price for admission was a reasonable £16 . This small fee was well worth the experience we had inside and it is the annual pass for the whole year.
We also had the opportunity to browse the souvenir shop, which offered a wonderful selection of unique gifts and mementos. We found some lovely keepsakes to remember our visit by, each of them adding to the cherished memories we made that day.
Our visit to Canterbury Church was an enriching and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to delve into the fascinating history of this architectural masterpiece. The ticket price was more than reasonable, and the souvenir shop provided the perfect way to take a piece of this special place home with us.

Thank you, Canterbury Church, for a truly magical visit! We can't wait to return and create more treasured memories

We were there during graduations and because of that 1/3 of the cathedral was closed to the public. But there was still plenty to see of this magnificent building and of the grounds surrounding it.
Absolutely worth a visit.

I am still in awe of this cathedral. It’s so hard to believe that this cathedral was designed and constructed so many years ago. And the time it took to build! Hundreds of years! The builders could have easily spent their whole life working on this building and not see the end product. Mind boggling when you think of it in comparison to today. Remember, it is a church and to be respectful when prayer time is happening. GO HERE!

Amazing architectural feat, and huge! It kept on going, almost felt like two cathedrals in one. The fact that you can look all the way up into one of the towers is very impressive. The ceilings are beautifully painted.

Enjoyed the day roaming around Canterbury city center and Canterbury Cathedral. Although we had visited before, this time we went for our 1st boat trip around the canals. Really enjoyed the canal trip. Also enjoyed walking through the Free Libary and Art Gallery in the Oldest building. Enjoyed the Pubs and had a fab meal. Most people & staff were very friendly.
