1) Geography
Welcome to the fabulous district of
Canterbury, including Herne Bay and
Whitstable coastal resorts, with their beautiful beach fronts and the surrounding
Countryside. Canterbury has the perfect blend of city, coast and countryside, ensuring that however varied your interests are you will be spoilt for choice.
We could actually say Canterbury can been split into 3 parts :
- Herne bay ;
- Whitstable ;
- Canterbury.
Each of those 3 cities and its surroundings have their very own caracteristics, landscapes, cultures and history.
Although this area only covers around 304 km2, it offers a large diversity for guests to visit. The City of
Canterbury is a local government district with city status in Kent, England. The main settlement in the district is
Canterbury, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Let’s start with Canterbury.
Canterbury is located at in east Kent, about 89 km east-southeast of London. The city is on the River Stour or
Great Stour. The Great Stour is the second longest river in Kent and is the major watercourse in the east of the county. This river divides south east of the city, one branch flowing though the city, the other around the position of the former walls.
The two branches rejoin or are linked several times, but finally recombine around the town of
Fordwich, on the edge of the marshland north east of the city. The Stour is navigable on the tidal section to Fordwich, although above this point canoes and other small craft can be used. Punts and rowed river boats are available for hire in
Canterbury. The geology of the area consists mainly of brickearth overlying chalk.
