June 4 9:30 am 3:30 pm

Discover more about the introduction of Roman Christianity to Britain on this unique fully-guided tour experience which takes you through the heartland of historic Canterbury.

Visit St Martin’s church, the oldest church in the English-speaking world, explore the remains of St Augustine’s Abbey, resting place of St Augustine and the first Archbishops of Canterbury, and experience the beauty of Canterbury Cathedral, Mother Church of the Church of England. Together, these three historic places form Canterbury’s UNESCO World Heritage Site which gained UNESCO listing in 1988 – a must-visit destination.

A guided tour at each stop offers a fascinating insight into the royals, clergy and ordinary people involved in the story, and allows you to explore how the city’s architecture changed to reflect its fortunes.

A tasty sandwich lunch with tea and coffee is included as part of the day, served in the beautiful gardens overlooking Canterbury Cathedral, allowing you the opportunity to relax with your fellow travellers and discuss your discoveries.

Tickets are £59.95 per person which includes a full guided tour at each site, a sandwich lunch and accompanied walks between each church. The day runs from 9.30 am to 15.30 approx.
