Winter is the best season for oysters! 🦪 If you’re craving fresh oysters in the UK, there is no need to fly to France —just 90 minutes by train from London takes you to the charming seaside town of Whitstable. Whitstable is famous for two types of oysters: 🦪 Rock Oyster – Creamy,silky and juicy, with a slightly sweet aftertaste 🦪 Native Oyster – Firm, briny, nutty, with a long-lasting flavor, similar to the French Belon oyster There’s not much to see in Whitstable aside from the Harbour Market and colorful beach huts, so why not visit Canterbury which is just 30mins away by bus? This medieval city dates back to Roman times, with the iconic Canterbury Cathedral as its highlight. Don’t miss the park and canal by Westgate Towers, where you can even enjoy a boat ride in summer! Tips: Dun forget your hat - It’s super windy by the coast! #uktrip #thingstodo

The existing buildings are mainly in the Gothic style from the 11th to 15th centuries. The three towers were built in different periods. The tall and narrow nave, the towering central tower, and the north and south towers on the west facade all exhibit Gothic style, while the east facade exhibits Norman style. - ▪ St Augustine's Abbey Built in 598 AD, it is located in Canterbury, Kent, England. Originally a Benedictine abbey, it is a Baroque-style building. This area originally had three churches, dedicated to St. Pancras, St. Peter, and St. Paul. It once housed a large collection of vestments, golden chalices, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk cloaks embroidered with gold thread, and oil paintings. However, these precious collections were lost during the war. - ▪ St. Martin's Church Built in Roman times, it is located at the foot of the mountain east of the city.

. 🍀Westgate Gardens - my favorite place in Canterbury. It's particularly peaceful and tranquil in the early morning. The river is crystal clear, and ducks and seabirds stroll and rest by the river. Occasionally, joggers pass by. After 10 a.m., the place becomes crowded, especially the area near the entrance where many flowers are planted, making it a popular check-in spot. This is also where the cruise ship docks, so it's bustling until nightfall. 🍀Walking along the river, the small scenery on both sides is beautiful, with a variety of trees and flowers planted. The green lawn is a place for everyone to rest, gather, and celebrate birthdays. 🍀There is also a beautiful old house by the river (Pic 6️⃣). Newlyweds can hold weddings here. Westgate Gardens is as beautiful as a painting. . 🍀Location: It's about a 10-minute walk from Canterbury West Railway Station. The main entrance is next to Westgate Towers. .

On the 20-Minute Park Effect~ The gardens in Canterbury are so beautiful💕💕 . 📝Route Guide⬇️ Depart from London, take the subway to King's Cross, walk 8 minutes to St Pancras station, and transfer to a train to Canterbury West station.

Canterbury was the first town I visited during my study abroad in the UK. This time I returned to the UK to revisit the old place, the pictures of that year are still clear Traveling seems to be the magician of life, it can prolong people's life Recalling the past experiences is so fulfilling and long Canterbury is a world cultural heritage and is also called the town in oil paintings by many people. Take a bamboo boat and go boating on the clear stream The red houses and flowers on both sides of the river dotted our sight. It also intoxicated my heart❤ ✅Tips for transportation: Kingscross, London Bridge, London Victoria and other stations have direct trains to the town. It is recommended to take the London Bridge to Canterbury West. The distance from the west station to the town is very close, only 5 minutes. The other two stations are Canterbury East and you have to walk a long way. ✅Tips for playing: 1️⃣After getting off the train, navigate to Westgate Gardens Riverside. This is the most popular garden in town. The place to take the boat is here. The boat is charged by the boat. 2️⃣After visiting the previous spot, walk to Westgate tower, where you can see the panoramic view of the town’s main street 3️⃣Then go to St Peter street, the main street of the town, where there are many small shops to visit 4️⃣The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, a medieval royal library 5️⃣After visiting the library, continue walking forward to Mercery Lane, which I think is the most beautiful street in the town. 6️⃣After the tour, walk forward to Christchurch Gate, the most famous monument in Canterbury 7️⃣Visit Canterbury Cathedral, one of the 10 most famous churches in the UK and the church where the bishop of the Queen's funeral is held 8️⃣After visiting the church, you can walk to Saint George's Tower.

The fruit stand next to the tower is very cheap. ✅Tips Tips Best playing time: If you don't want to be a special forces soldier, you can spend half a day to visit the whole town. Because the town is really small, it is recommended to go to Dover together with the White Cliffs of Dover. Take bus No. 15 from Canterbury bus station directly to Dover. The ticket price is 2 pounds. · 🙆‍♀️I am Fei Shishi who keeps moving and loves to share 📸I am keen on using the camera to record the beautiful scenery of the journey ❤️Follow me🤩 🙌Provide you with more travel tips for taking photos and checking in during your trip ·

It was rather peaceful and quiet and one can relax and enjoy the birds singing .

Whether you're visiting on a day-trip or staying over the weekend, Canterbury is a little gem of a town which perhaps can be called 'the Venice of the UK' ❤️ Canterbury is a cathedral city and a UNESCO site by the Great Stour river with thousands and thousands years of history, incredible listed building showcasing traditional English medieval architecture and generally lots to do! The town was mainly made famous by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales though, for centuries, it has been where great stories where told. You can get to Canterbury from London St Pancras or Victoria within no more than an hour and a half. 👉TOP SPOTS TO EXPLORE IN CANTERBURY👈 1) Westgate Gardens These gardens are located at a short 8 minute walked from Canterbury West train station. Westgate Gardens is one of the oldest parks in England. It's also very scenic and the perfect place to start a day of sightseeing. 2) Westgate Towers After the gardens, head straight over to the well preserved medieval gatehouse that stands at the entrance to Canterbury’s high street. This epic tower dates back to the 14th century and is the largest surviving city gate in all of England. This impressive gatehouse is actually a replacement from the original Roman wall that circled the city around the year 300 AD. 3) The Old Weaver's House A classic timer-framed Tudor style house perfectly placed next to a canal. Its name comes from the Flemish weavers who fled France to escape religious persecution in the 16th century. It’s also home to a popular restaurant where you can dine on the patio outside next to the river - I'd advise to book a table in advance if you can! 4) Canterbury River Cruise After doing some research, but not booking any tickets in advance, I rocked up to a promo stall for Canterbury Punting Company (right across the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge), who secured me a spot for a ride approx. an hour and a half later. I was very lucky as these get super busy once the summer season fully hits. Anyway, I found this was the finest way to see and learn about Canterbury, from the comfort of a classic hand-built punt on the historic river Stour. The team were super friendly and helpful, and our guide was knowledgeable and funny! An adult ticket for a shared ride costs £20 while a student one is £17.50. 5) Crooked House of Canterbury A short walk from the high street will take you to the famous crooked house of Canterbury which is a must on your day trip itinerary! 6) Canterbury Cathedral Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. It was also built with the same stone and same technique used in Nortre Dame, Paris! #tripblazers #mytravelvlog #CelebrateWithTrip
