Canterbury Cathedral. | |||
The Nave of the Cathedral. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of friendly and well-informed volunteer guides who were happy to give us the benefit of their knowledge about this great Cathedral. | |||

The Cloisters of the Cathedral. | |||
Heraldic shields decorate the ribbed ceiling of the Cloisters. | |||
The West Gate is one of the original towers of the City of Canterbury. The River Stour flows past it. | |||
This is the crypt of the ancient Hospital of St Thomas of Canterbury. It wasn't a hospital in the modern sense. Rather, it was a place of hospitality for pilgrims who flocked to Canterbury after the canonisation of St Thomas Becket, the Martyr. The Hospital is on the road leading towards the Cathedral Gate. | |||
Energetic young touts try to sell you trips on the river. | |||
