Minibus Hire Canterbury

On your Canterbury tour, you will come across numerous outstanding attractions. The city offers a treasure mine of things to see and do, from well-known tourist destinations to hidden jewels.

Here is our list of the finest of Canterbury.

A journey to Canterbury would be incomplete without a stop to its famous cathedral, which has drawn pilgrims and visitors alike since the Middle Ages. You may explore the 11th century antiquities and medieval stained-glass windows on your own or with a guide before having a well-deserved breather in the café and store.

Each day, Canterbury Cathedral opens and closes with the ringing of a 17th-century bell, so plan your visit accordingly to hear its magnificent chimes.

With so many tourist sites in Canterbury to choose from, it's easy to miss this one. After you've visited Canterbury Cathedral, don't miss St Augustine's Abbey, the ancient monastery affiliated with the Anglican Church's historic home. Explore the ruins and historic foundations of this magnificent monument, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A visit to St Augustine's Abbey provides an entire historical experience, with an audio tour leading you through Roman, Saxon, and Tudor history.

Put on virtual reality headsets and explore how St Augustine's might have appeared in the 16th century.

The Marlowe is a Canterbury gem for performing arts and culture. Following a refurbishment in 2011, the facility has evolved into one of the country's finest regional theatres, and it's a terrific spot to see a performance.

The Marlowe promotes some of the country's top young playwrights and welcomes OMBH touring plays and musicals, so visitors are spoilt for choice. Expect a warm environment at the winner of UK Theatre's award for Most Welcoming Theatre in the South East.

Wingham Wildlife Park is a great place for a family day not far from Canterbury. It has around 200 animal species, making it one of the best zoos in the UK.

The Red Panda Experience allows you to get up close and personal with one of the world's cutest creatures. If you're feeling brave, schedule a Meet the Tigers session and get up up and personal with the huge cats under the supervision of trained handlers.

Children will enjoy the two big indoor and outdoor play spaces, as well as the many educational events led by animal specialists. You may also have a meal at one of the on-site eateries.

The Statue of Liberty is in New York, and Big Ben is in London, but Canterbury's Westgate is significantly older. The massive 16-meter-high building originates from 1380 and is England's biggest remaining city gate.

Helmets, armour, handcuffs, and manacles are among the items on display in the museum. While you're there, check out the 1830 cells. If you become hungry, there's The Pound Bar & Kitchen, which may even give you oatmeal.

Finally, climb the battlements for a breathtaking panorama of this historic English city.

If you need to stretch your legs after all of the touring, go to Dane John Gardens, a Canterbury beauty gem.

This historic Roman cemetery-turned-public park, nestled behind the city walls and surrounded by lovely lime trees, is an ideal place to unwind.

The gardens provide spectacular views of Canterbury and the Kent countryside from the top of the mound, away from the congestion and bustle of the major city thoroughfares. If you're coming as a family, the kids will enjoy the play area. If you're lucky, you could even catch a live performance at the bandstand.
