Transfer from Heathrow Airport to Canterbury
Canterbury is located in the southern region of Great Britain and praises itself with one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, which is the most precious treasure of the city. The cathedral is known as the Mother of Churches in England and the residence of the first archbishop.
One of the most important constructions in Canterbury is the Canterbury Cathedral, which was built in 1070, very shortly after the Norman Conquest, on the place of a former the Anglo-Saxon, destroyed by Danish thieves. The main access point to the cathedral is Christ Church Gate, adorned with the statue of Christ looking sinisterly down from its center. Western Twin Towers and Henry Tower(71 meters) are superb ornamented. In the north-west there is The Martyrdom, where, on its returning from exile, Becket was murdered by four knights after King Henry II had an outburst of anger. In the eastern part of the cathedral, in Trinity Chapel, stood on the old tomb, the Sword Point altar – destroyed in 1538, at the order of Henry VIII, after a post-mortem trial where Becket was posthumously condemned for high treason. Inside the cathedral you will see beautiful effigies of brass and the Black Prince(d. 1376), as well as the beautifully carved alabaster tomb of Henry IV and his queen – Joan of Navarre.
