Canterbury - 14th best UK destination

By Rachel Bullen
CANTERBURY has beat out cities such as Manchester and Cardiff to make Trip Advisor’s top 25 UK destinations.

At 14 on the list, compiled by an internationally used site, it was favourited and deemed one of the most visited places in the UK. In a press release by Trip Advisor, spokesperson Emma O’Boyle, said: “These awards honour the world’s best destinations as decided by those judges that really matter, the travellers themselves.”

Famed for its cobbled streets, architecture and most of all Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury has a lot to offer tourists, and it is an honour to be recognised amongst some of the top UK destinations.

 Susan Amos, 46, said: “I’ve lived in Canterbury since I was four, I love the magic of the city, its beautiful buildings, quaint side streets and beautiful Cathedral. I think it’s only right that Canterbury is getting the recognition it deserves.”

The capital, London was voted the best place to visit in the UK.
