A Quintessential Medieval Corner of the World Journey through a region known as the “Garden of England” to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Canterbury. This is a quintessential medieval city in one of the most attractive corners of rural England, made famous by Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales . Pilgrims once flocked to the city to visit the shrine of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket.
