Canterbury is a small town of 40,000 located southeast from London and north from Dover. It’s famous for the fact that the chief of the Church of England is titled Archbishop of Canterbury (although his main residence is in London Borough of Lambeth), for probably the most known cathedral in England, and also for The Canterbury Tales.

It is indeed a small town despite of the fact that like Oxford, the place is called a city. The best way to move around in Canterbury is to leave the car in one of the Park & Ride car parks and take a bus to the centre. The town itself is so small that every distance can be covered on foot.

Here are some photos of the town that I kind of liked:

A little square with little cafes.

A little traditional house that in fact was about to fall over.

Buttermarket square in front of the Cathedral.

Six miles from Canterbury to northwest lies an adorable little village of Chilham, of which Lonely Planet says, it’s “one of the best examples of a medieval village you’ll see anywhere in England”. And it very well might be. Population of Chilham is only 1,595. I must admit it is a very inspirational little village.
