Canterbury City Walk – A Stroll Through Time

#postandearn Wandering through Canterbury feels like stepping into a storybook. I began at the iconic **Canterbury Cathedral**, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and spiritual heart of the city. Its towering spires and stained glass windows left me in awe — a quiet, sacred beauty even amidst visitors. From there, I meandered through the **King’s Mile**, a charming stretch of independent shops, cozy cafés, and half-timbered buildings. I paused for a coffee at a quiet corner café and watched the world pass by on cobbled streets. Crossing the **River Stour**, I took a short detour for a punting tour — peaceful, with willow trees brushing the water and ducks floating alongside. It gave me a unique view of the old city walls and gardens. I continued to **Westgate Gardens**, a surprisingly tranquil spot just minutes from the center. Locals were picnicking, kids playing — all under the shade of ancient trees. From there, I walked through **Westgate Towers**, once a medieval gateway, now a small museum and viewpoint. The afternoon sun cast long shadows as I wandered back through quiet alleys, snapping photos of hidden courtyards and old stone churches. Ending my walk with fish and chips near **St. Peter’s Street**, I felt both fulfilled and nostalgic. Canterbury is more than just history — it’s a place that breathes charm at every turn. A perfect city to explore on foot.
