Guidebook for Kent
Sightseeing
The Canterbury Tales is an interesting interactive tour following the writer Chaucer's tales, depicting his pilgrims in costume. I would recommend the Beaney House, which is a gallery, museum and library all in one, with lots of free exhibitions. As for culture in general, the Gulbenkian at the Uni of Kent is a good arts centre with theatre, cinema and cafe. The Marlowe is another well-known theatre by Westgate, frequently hosting some of the biggest shows from the UK and beyond.

Canterbury Cathedral is of course a sight to behold and lovely to walk around and view from the grounds.

Shopping
The Farmers Market, or Goods Shed, is probably a more unique place to visit in terms of finding locally produced food, veggies, fish and a butcher. The restaurant is relaxed and uses local produce. Around the Whitefriars Shopping Centre area, you can find most of the popular shops and outlets found in modern cities and what I like about this area is the good use of a pedestrian-friendly zone, where there are seating areas and tables which are not necessarily for designated cafes, to sit and chat, relax etc. The area around the cathedral has a good selection of eateries and drinkeries! The square in front of the cathedral has some nice shops including a local pottery shop and pub, and you can

Food Scene
Cafe Solo is a great, dedicated breakfast caf, just over 5 minutes walk from here (direction Canterbury) by Morrisons. My favourite restaurant is Olive Grove, offering a really taste mix of African, Italian and Middle-Eastern food at reasonable prices. This is situated centrally in Best Lane. I especially like the restaurant's beautiful, exotic decor and cosy atmosphere. My favourite bakery is a cafe further down towards Westgate, called St Pierre's, French as the name suggests. It does great cakes and what I especially like is their authentic family feel and takeaway prices - have your cake and eat it(!), perhaps in the park or whilst strolling. The Parrot Inn (Church Lane) is worth a visit
