Things To Do In Canterbury For Groups

Canterbury, a historic city in Kent with a population of about 55,000, is a treasure trove of culture and history. It’s well-connected by road via the A2 and A28, and you can reach it by train from London in about an hour. The city’s compact nature makes it ideal for group exploration.

Getting around Canterbury is a piece of cake. The city centre is easily walkable, but for longer trips, there’s a reliable bus service. If you’re planning to visit nearby spots like Whitstable or Herne Bay, hiring a minibus might be your best bet. It’ll give you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Marvel at Canterbury Cathedral

No trip to Canterbury is complete without a visit to its famous cathedral. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and has been a place of worship for over 1,400 years. The stained glass windows are a sight to behold, and the atmosphere is proper spiritual. You might even catch a choir practice if you’re lucky. It’s a popular spot for history buffs from Faversham, so you might bump into some fellow culture vultures.

Relax in Westgate Gardens

For a bit of green space, head to Westgate Gardens. It’s a lovely spot for a picnic or a leisurely stroll along the River Stour. The gardens are home to a 200-year-old plane tree and the Westgate Towers, one of England’s finest medieval gates. It’s a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You’ll often see groups from Sandwich enjoying the tranquil atmosphere here.

Immerse Yourself in Art at The Beaney House

The Beaney is Canterbury’s main museum and art gallery. It’s housed in a beautiful Victorian building and has a bit of everything – from ancient Egyptian artefacts to modern art. The museum’s got interactive displays that are great for keeping the kids entertained. It’s free to enter, which is always a bonus. Art lovers from Ashford often make the trip to check out the latest exhibitions.

Explore the Ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey

St Augustine’s Abbey is another UNESCO World Heritage site and it’s well worth a visit. The ruins are impressive and give you a real sense of what the abbey would’ve been like in its heyday. There’s an audio tour available that brings the place to life. It’s a bit of a walk from the city centre, but it’s worth the effort. History enthusiasts from Margate frequently make the journey to explore these ancient ruins.

Climb Westgate Towers for Panoramic Views

The Westgate Towers Museum is housed in England’s largest surviving medieval gateway. You can climb to the top for some cracking views over Canterbury. The museum itself is full of interesting bits about the city’s history, including its time as a gaol. It’s not huge, but it’s packed with fascinating info. The narrow stairs might be a bit tricky for some, but the view from the top is worth the climb.

Take in the Scenery at Kings Bridge

Kings Bridge is a picturesque spot in the heart of Canterbury. It’s a great place to watch the world go by or feed the ducks in the River Stour. The bridge itself is pretty old, dating back to the 16th century. It’s right next to the Old Weavers House, one of the city’s oldest buildings. You’ll often see tourists from Sittingbourne snapping photos of this quintessentially English scene.

Visit England’s Oldest Parish Church at St Martin’s

St Martin’s Church is the oldest church in England still in use as a parish church. It’s part of the Canterbury World Heritage Site and has some fascinating Roman bricks in its walls. The church is a bit out of the way, but it’s worth the trip if you’re into history. It’s small, but it’s got a proper peaceful atmosphere. History buffs from Ramsgate often make the pilgrimage to see this ancient place of worship.

Unearth Roman History at Canterbury Roman Museum

If you’re into ancient history, the Canterbury Roman Museum is a must-visit. It’s built around the remains of a Roman townhouse and has some brilliant mosaics. The museum does a great job of bringing Roman Canterbury to life with its interactive displays. It’s underground, so it stays nice and cool on hot days. Just watch your head on some of the low doorways – the Romans were a bit shorter than us!

Discover Tranquillity at Greyfriars Gardens

Greyfriars Gardens offers a peaceful oasis in the heart of historic Canterbury. This hidden gem, nestled alongside the River Stour, was once part of a 13th-century Franciscan friary. Today, it’s a beautifully maintained public garden, perfect for quiet contemplation or a picturesque picnic. Lush lawns, colourful flowerbeds, and mature trees create a serene atmosphere. The gardens also feature the picturesque ruins of a Greyfriars Chapel, adding a touch of medieval charm. It’s a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a moment of calm amidst Canterbury’s bustling streets.
