Welcome to Canterbury

Canterbury is a cathedral city in east Kent in South East England and is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primate of All England, head of the Church of England and of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
The city gave its name to a musical genre known as the Canterbury Sound or Canterbury Scene (a subgenre of Progressive Rock). Shortly after there was a decline in the music scene and it is only just starting to pick itself back up again due to students running live music nights within the city.
The homeless charity the Scrine Foundation is based in Canterbury.

Canterbury is a World Heritage site because of the three following places:- Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey and St. Martin's.
