Places to see in ( Canterbury - UK )
Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. Canterbury lies on the River Stour.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion owing to the importance of St Augustine, who served as the apostle to the pagan Kingdom of Kent around the turn of the 7th century. The city's cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket, although it had already been a well-trodden pilgrim destination since the murder of St Alphege by the men of King Canute in 1012. A journey of pilgrims to Becket's shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

Cultural Pathfinder 'At the Heart of Taking Part'
At the Heart and Taking Part: engaged children and young people
Creatively with their cultural heritage, in the context of the radical refurbishment of an historic building within a rapidly changing medieval city. The development of a new art museum and improved library in the city is one of the key projects for Canterbury City Council and Kent County Council. The selected site is the Beaney Institute, a late Victorian building in the High Street, which occupies a prime position at the heart of a cultural and creative city.
At the Heart of Taking Part targeted Canterbury schools in a cross-curricular programme that operated on several levels:
Explorations of the issues faced by the Beaney design team as they develop plans for building refurbishment
Practical engagements in some of the temporary and permanent public art projects
Involvements in the way-finding and interpretation of displays with an emphasis on encouraging young people's enjoyment and learning devising a promotional or marketing strategy and a range of introductory activities, to encourage other young people to use the building and its services when it reopens.
