My Britain: Canterbury

Best known for its spectacular cathedral nestled among winding medieval streets, Canterbury is a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of the most visited cities in the UK. Inhabited since prehistoric times, it has a wealth of historic sites, including a city wall founded in Roman times and the ruins of a Benedictine monastery. The city has seen all kinds of populations, from Celtic tribes to French Huguenots to students and tourists today. The Great Stour River winds its way through the scenic city, past Fransciscan gardens, antique book shops and crooked houses. Charming buildings, beautiful green spaces and a healthy selection of pubs attract up to 7.8 million visitors a year. But what is it like to live and work in a stunning city that so many love to pass through? Locals share the secrets of life in Canterbury with Alice Gawthrop.
