Quaint and pretty Canterbury sits proud on the River Stour in the county of Kent - known as The Garden of England. With its ancient city walls and stunning cathedral, this compact city is a joy to explore. After the murder of Archbishop Thomas a Becket, Canterbury Cathedral became a popular pilgrimage site for Christians all over Europe. This gave Chaucer the material for his famous 14th century collection of stories "The Canterbury Tales" and has lead to a legacy of literary culture. Also home to one of England’s oldest schools, you’ll feel very comfortable improving your English at our chosen school in Canterbury.
