10 Best Places to See on Your Walking Tour of Canterbury (with map
"Since they are not located in Canterbury old town center, these very old churches do not appear on my Canterbury walking tour map. Nevertheless, they are both worth your time to visit as they represent the beginning of Christianity in England. St Augustine’s Abbey was founded by St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, in 598."

Coaches to Canterbury
"If you need to rest your limbs from all the sightseeing, head to Dane John Gardens for a Canterbury beauty spot. Nestled by the city’s walls and with its beautiful lime trees, this former Roman cemetery-turned-public park is a perfect setting for relaxation. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main city thoroughfares, the gardens have stunning views of Canterbury and the Kent countryside from the top of the mound."

"If it's a sunny day, why not take a stroll around Dane John Gardens?. These beautiful gardens date back to 1551. At the top of a mound within the grounds you can have an excellent view of the city and see a monument to Alderman James Simmons who gifted the gardens to the people of Canterbury."
Mentioned by Shepherd Neame

The 10 Best Places To Eat In Maidstone
"A guilty pleasure of Dee’s - you can’t go wrong with a burger and fries from Five Guys!. You get an authentic feeling American burger and a large helping of fries with every visit - which is why Sade recommends that you only order a small, as a small portion is enough to feed two people!. The best thing for our clients is Five Guys is only a five-minute walk away from our Riverside apartments."
