Canterbury has stood at the heart of English history for almost 1,500 years and every cobblestone has a storey to tell.

Join Canterbury Walks for an immersive tour through the medieval streets of one of England's most extraordinary cities. Led by an expert local guide with years of experience bringing Canterbury's past to life, this is no ordinary history lesson.

Over the course of our tour you'll uncover stories of plague and war, scandal and romance, murder and intrigue from the dramatic assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket to the surprising Canterbury connections of Ian Fleming and Charles Dickens.

What you'll discover:

• The infamous Abbot's Mill fire and its place in Canterbury's history

• Canterbury's Dominican Friars and the storey of Blackfriars

• The City's Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Viking walls

And much more — including stories most visitors never hear
