    We went to Canterbury earlier in the year and had a wander around. My wife booked to go Punting on the river Stour, which was interesting (video on my channel). The guy asked my wife what she thought of the Punt. She said, "He's alright, he must be, I married him." 😂 Andy.

    Canterbury is a nice city, i just live outside it near Sandwich. (Another worth a visit) The market was very busy just before xmas and the cathedral is a special place ,especially the Black Princes Tomb, But like anywhere it's a bit drab in the winter,come summer its well busy. Reminds me of York,some little turnings are like the shambles. Come in the summer and see the River stour and get a Canoe or kayak from Grove Ferry to Fordwich and stop at the pub for lunch. It really is stunning.

    The St George’s church in the vlog is all that remains of the church after Canterbury was bombed by the German luftwaffe in WW2 the whole of the top end of the town was flattened in this raid and was redeveloped in the 1950s hence the difference between the old buildings in the rest of the town.

    Well done, you should have visited during the summer months there would have been a lot more activity and people around. The Cathedral has just had many millions of pounds spent on it, you know it has it's own Stonemasons, 13 of them and one apprentice. There is also The Cathedral Studios where the stained glass is preserved and repaired all in the Cathedral Precincts.

    The old flint walls reminds me of childhood in east Kent.

    A very long time ago my late parents used to take us to Canterbury regularly in their home-making days.

As the Ecclesiastical capital of the Anglican Church it is without peer and as a sign noted, also the home of Kent cricket.

    Nice place to wander around, we made the same decision about the cathedral ..... too expensive.
    We belonged to both clubs, ditched the CAMC a few years ago, mainly due to cost, retained the CACC for the discount it gives us on the ferry we have to use to get off the island we live on, which can be close to £300 for a week or more return ticket, club discount is 50%, although we rarely use the club sites.

    Canterbury has a huge number of students and student housing. That means, lower levels of normal circulating general public, and larger numbers of NON council tax paying residents due to student status. Count the Turkish barbers where you travel out of interest.

    There are thousands of older churches in Italy, France, Spain and the Byzantine countries.
    But it is a lovely Anglo Saxon church nonetheless.
