4Canterbury Cathedral, St. Augustine’s Abbey, and St. Martin’s Church
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. Together with the abbey and church, Canterbury offers a deep dive into England’s ecclesiastical heritage.
