Canterbury is a city that offers a huge number of historical features for travellers to see. Walls that were built by the Romans during the middle ages are still around. The vast tourist population has made the city one of the most visited places in the United Kingdom. Going around the city is easy because of its highly dependable railway system and the A2 highway which leads to London. Education is a top priority in the city and it hosts three of the top universities in the UK. What makes it more interesting are the presence of historic structures. Built in the early centuries, the Canterbury Cathedral stands proud and tall. The Old Weaver’s House is a structure built between the 16th and the 17th century. It is known for its timber frame and tourists love to have photo ops of its façade. Along the streets, travellers can choose their preferred accommodation.
