MAP92: Canterbury: A Modern Day Pilgrimage

About this episode

Executive Producer: ⭐Helle Hagenau A day trip to Canterbury is a a popular choice for tourists visiting England and London and for good reason, it's a great city! During our European vacation in the Summer of 2024 we had a free day and decided to take a modern day pilgrimage to Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. We decided not to walk the Pilgrim's Way though, instead traveling by train to Canterbury. There were learning lessons for the kids (even on summer break), pubs for the adults and lots of medieval history! It was a jammed packed day but we still found time to relax and take in all the sights and sounds. We take a walk around Canterbury visiting the medieval sights and other sights. The entire family had a great time in Canterbury. It was one of the highlights of our trip. From the medieval city walls and gatehouse, to Buttermarket Square and the glorious cathedral that draws thousands of visitors ever year, Canterbury is a great day trip and if you have more time you should plan to spend 2-3 days exploring the city.
