One of my favourite spots in the city
also doubles as a shortcut. Behind the
Sainsbury’s on Kingsmead Road is a
stream that leads all the way to the
Marlowe Theatre Gardens. This stream
has a footpath that leads away from the
main road of the city centre – tucked
into a quiet pocket of this historic city.
The stream is surrounded by trees,
and frequent spots of grass make it
the perfect spot for a picnic. Westgate
Gardens, located next to the Westgate
Towers is another place of natural beauty,
and taking a boat trip along the canal is
the best way to see this sliver of nature
embedded in the heart of the city. If
you have a couple of quid to spare, you
should take the bus to one of the nearby
beaches. Broadstairs is the best, but
Margate, Ramsgate and Herne Bay all
offer the typical seaside experience, and
are all on direct public transport routes.
The best thing about Canterbury is the
massive student population. With CCCU,
UKC, UCA and the American University
and Canterbury Collage all located within
miles of each other, you will always find
students wherever you go. This means
you can guarantee every night out will
bring new friends and events no matter
where you end up. Canterbury is one of
the warmest places in the UK, so in the
warmer months you can guarantee you
will be having multiple barbeques and
