Welcome to Canterbury

We took a Viator tour out of London to Leeds, The Cliffs of Dover, and to Canterbury.   The main reason we went to Canterbury was to have some lunch and then to visit the famous Canterbury Cathedral.  We have seen a lot of big churches on our trips and they are all unique and beautiful  in their own ways and this was no exception.
