Canterbury, in Kent, is one of the most important religious sites in England. The city’s UNESCO designation covers three key landmarks: Canterbury Cathedral, St. Augustine’s Abbey, and St. Martin’s Church

Canterbury Cathedral, with its stunning Gothic architecture, has been a pilgrimage site for over a thousand years. Visitors can explore the cloisters, marvel at medieval stained glass, and learn about the history of Thomas Becket, whose martyrdom made the cathedral famous.
