Although the Cathedreal is a little bit pricey this is definitely an amazing sight to see!
The architecture is simply stunning and it is possible to see The Martyrdom where St. Thomas à Becket was killed by four knights and therefor martyred.
It is amazing, haunting, beautiful and somehow I was drawn to this cathedral and the area around it.

Really nice place to go to although pricey however if you are a student at the University of Kent you can get in for free, although I’m not sure if they only include this in the evenings. However, it’s a landmark that simply has to be visited if you go to Canterbury. In the evenings it is lit up beautifully and you can see it from the many hills surrounding the city centre. It is right in the middle of many restaurants, pubs, clubs and shops - something for everyone! It is easily accesible by car, train or bus, but often quite busy on the weekends.

The Cathedral is a brilliant place to look around and learn a bit of history. Prices are a bit steep though to get in. Shepherds give great tour. Grounds beautiful.

Canterbury Cathedral is the most beautiful cathedral I have visited and probably the most popular tourist attraction in Canterbury. there is a small entry fee but a must for any visitor to Canterbury for visitors and locals alike.

Canterbury Cathedral is such a special place, as the architecture, stained glass and cloisters are awe-inspiring.You can visit where Thomas Becket was struck down by the four knights and see the tomb of the Black Prince.
However, just walking around the Cathedral is not enough to experience the grandeur, you really have to try and attend a service to hear the voices soaring upwards and hear the organ playing. Unforgettable.

Very beautiful indeed. This is so big cathdral and I was nearly lost my way!
I went to Sunday afternoon , which allows me to go free admission. ( I did a little donation for appreciation)
I just could not believe human being made this cathdral and this is such an old history!
They have a guidebook in different languages ,which is very helpful.
If you visit Canterbury, you cannot miss the cathedral.

The Cathedral is without a doubt Canterburys biggest tourism spot. Maybe even kents. Its beautiful and just from the outside it seems magnificent. Inside, which yes you do have to pay for, is just as breath taking. I really enjoy going here. Winter is always a great time to go and see it as, obviously it gets darker earlier, when it is all lit up it looks just gorgeous and you can see so much detail with the lights on when you are standing a bit further away from it.
There are things on the inside which are so interesting. Definately worth the visit.
