Very informative on the history of the hospital throughout the centuries. This also leads to Greyfriars Chapel and Greyfriars chapel. There is a service at this chapel once a week.

Semi pedestrianised street leading away from the Cathedral. With independent shops, cafe's and restaurants. Head to the bottom and you will see a traditional timber beamed house that is twisted. A few of the timber buildings along here are apparently haunted.

The heart of historic Canterbury, this is a cobbled square right in front of the Christ Church gate leading to the cathedral and also has a war memorial at its core.

Neighbourhoods
Whitstable and Tankerton is a pretty and relaxed seaside town. You can walk to Whitstable or catch the bus there. Lovely walks along the seafront with lots of independent shops, fishing harbour, beach huts, seafood stalls. Walk along 'The Street', a street that stretches for a mile out into the sea just off Tankerton (watch out for the tides). From the harbour go on board a historic Thames Barge or get a speedboat out to the WW2 forts or spot Sea Lions on the sand banks (pre-booking is advised).

I normally don't want to recommend chain restaurants but this location is a gem. Tucked away on the side streets there is an outside quaint little courtyard and inside you are literally right beside the river to see the ducks and the punts going past.

交通資訊
Coming by train - hire a car
Situated in the Canterbury West car park and Castle Row car park (at the top of the road from the hotel) is a car rental company where you can rent a car by the house and arrange it all through an app. No keys to collect just simply book it, go to the car and drive away. There are of course lots of other car hire companies who hire for the day but this could be usefull.
