Punting in Canterbury

A Tranquil Journey Along the River Stour Glide along Canterbury’s waterways on a traditional punt and enjoy a panoramic drive past city landmarks. Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Dover to the walled city of Canterbury, where you will embark on a punting experience along the River Stour. Board a flat-bottomed boat and settle in to learn about the rich history of this ancient city as your punter propels your vessel along the water using a long pole. Soak up your surroundings as you take in the views of the medieval buildings and the overhanging willows and wildflowers lining the riverbanks. After, return to your motor coach for a drive through the city, pausing at the UNESCO-listed Canterbury Cathedral for photos. This Gothic marvel is one of the oldest Christian structures in England and has been the seat of the spiritual head of the Church of England for nearly five centuries. After, return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
