Back into Canterbury again and we were meeting up with our nephew as he’s at university in the city. We were hoping he would be able to be a tour guide, but as a student, this was limited to pubs, clubs and kebab shops!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met Tom at The Lost Sheep Coffee Sho<\/strong>p by the Cathedral – bacon butties and poached eggs on toast went down a treat. Next stop was the Cathedral – slight discount on entry fees with an English Heritage Card (so we saved about \u00a310 in all). Armed with tickets, we could go through the gatehouse and actually see the cathedral albeit with scaffolding around some sections as it’s being restored\/repaired\/cleaned. <\/p>\n\n\n

We explored the inside first – it’s huge – lots of memorials to former soldiers who had excelled in battle over the last 300 years. A lot of the former Archbishops of Canterbury had been laid to rest here too. What stained glass they had was stunning but many of the windows were just plain glass.<\/p>\n\n\n
