View of the River Stour at Plucks Gutter

Highlight • Viewpoint

During the Middle Ages, the two rivers met the Wantsum Channel at Stourmouth, but the combined rivers now (called the River Stour downstream from Plucks Gutter) flow onward to the sea via Sandwich to Pegwell Bay near Ramsgate, leaving Plucks Gutter six miles in a straight line and ten by river from the English Channel

St Martin's Church, Canterbury

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Martin’s Church in Canterbury is the oldest church in the English-speaking world that is still in use. This historic church, located just outside the city centre, dates back to before 597 AD and was originally the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent. The church contains many Roman building materials, including bricks and tiles, which have been reused in the structure. St. Martin’s is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Canterbury Cathedral and St. Augustine’s Abbey. The church has a rich history and remains an active place of worship and community.

St Augustine's Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The abbey was built around 598 AD after Augustine made the journey from Rome to Britain on a mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. The abbey is one of England's oldest surviving monasteries and was originally intended as a burial place for the kings of Kent. Much of the layout of the abbey remains, while ruins around the entire site can be explored.

Westgate Towers

Highlight • Monument

A serene and peaceful part of the city, and yet somehow quite imposing as you cycle up to the massive stone gate. It's hard not to image the thousands of travellers who have approached these gates over hundreds of years. Enjoy the calm canal scene and watch the punters pass by.
