We’re off on our holidays again, with differences….a whole 4 weeks available to us, and we’re going via the Channel Tunnel instead of car ferry. (Quite a bargain, thanks to Tesco Clubcard deals) We spent the first night at Canterbury Park and Ride, here they have a Motorhome Aire..other councils, please note! Having been very impressed by the cathedrals at Winchester, and more recently York, we were keen to see how Canterbury compared. Well, we don’t know, as a.) the exterior was largely covered by scaffolding, and b.) having arrived late afternoon, the £12.50 entrance fee didn’t seem good value..we’d only have about 30 minutes for a whistlestop tour. Unlike the aforementioned cathedrals, you can’t wander round the outside here…only a glimpse without paying the entrance fee…so Chaucer’s tales etc. will have to wait for another visit. Instead, we had a lovely meal at Cote Brasserie, and did some people watching. We had a few drinks at the local (to the Park and Ride) pub in the evening, before our Eurotunnel trip next day.
Here is the best (free ) view of what is acclaimed as a beautiful building.
