Things to do in Canterbury and Kent

Canterbury Cathedral, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the anchor here, with entry tickets typically £15-£20 and the cathedral often closed to visitors during services. 5 hours.

5-2 hours from London by train plus a bus or taxi from Dover Priory station, and should not be confused with Brighton's Seven Sisters chalk cliffs, which lie in the opposite direction on the south coast. Leeds Castle, inland near Maidstone, adds a moated medieval castle with gardens, usually £20-£25 and best reached by car or a combined train-and-bus package.
