The streets of Canterbury… it’s really pretty.
Veggies for sale on the streets alongside boutiques and restaurants…

Canterbury Cathedral is the Mother Church of the Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site. It is the home of a community of people who seek to make the Cathedral a place of welcome, beauty and holiness.
At the entrance of the cathedral…
Inside the cathedral – observe the beautiful architecture…
And stained glass that was simply awesome…
An immense wealth of stained glass can be seen throughout Canterbury Cathedral. Many of its jewel-like medallion windows survive from the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The Miracle Windows depict stories often involving ordinary local people, whose names are still known today.

Dover
Dover is a major port on the south-east coast of England. Situated in the county of Kent, it faces France across the English Channel. The town is the administrative centre of the Dover district. Dover is famous for it’s White Cliffs.
Walking around Dover Castle… 
Dover Castle been described as the “Key to England” due to its defensive significance throughout history.
The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 saw the tunnels converted first into an air-raid shelter and then later into a military command centre and underground hospital.
Entrance to the labyrinth of secret wartime tunnels…
In May 1940, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsey directed the evacuation of French and British soldiers from Dunkirk, code-named Operation Dynamo, from his headquarters in the cliff tunnels.
Samphire Hoe is a part of Kent consisting of reclaimed land made from 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel deposited on the seaward side of the famous White cliffs of Dover.
A view from the hoe – beautiful sunset…
That’s me with some cute black-faced sheep…
We also got to see the tower with White Cliffs on one side and the sea to the other. I can’t find any words that can describe it’s beauty and serenity.
