The weather daybuyday had crap also this March was one of the worst we have experienced in the Old Albion, but the company chose to go for excursions unflinching in southeastern England. The first stop was Canterbury.
The Canterbury daybuyday is located southeast of London, one hour and something by train, daybuyday and about a half hour drive (98chm from central London) in the area of Kent. Another way to visit a city is by train. daybuyday The city has two railway stations in Canterbury East and Canterbury West. The train from London St Pancras daybuyday to Canterbury West arrives and takes approximately one hour. The trains depart from London Charing Cross and London Victoria Station stop at Canterbury East and make a little more than 1 hour.
The Canterbury is a relatively small city, with 40-45 thousand inhabitants, and is well known for the Cathedral Church. Canterbury is the seat of the Archbishop of the Church daybuyday of England (Archbishop of Canterbury is the title) daybuyday and is a destination of many pilgrims for centuries.
The relationship of the city with Christianity reaches very deep in time. The first Archbishop of Canterbury daybuyday was St Augustine of Canterbury daybuyday envoy from Rome in the sixth century, which laid the foundations of the Christian Church in England. The Augustinian Abbey, as oKathedrikos and the oldest Church of St Martin, the oldest parish church in operation in England, belonging to the UNESCO daybuyday World Heritage of UNESCO.
Year milestone for the Cathedral and the wider Church of England is 1170 then the then Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral by knights of King Henry II. O Thomas Becket had been Chancellor (something like a minister, chancellor) of Henry, but with the emergence of a changed daybuyday attitude and Archbishop clashed several times with the King. After the murder of Thomas Becket was treated daybuyday as a witness by Christians throughout Europe and was canonized by Pope just three years later. A year after himself King Henry II did public penance humiliated in his grave Thomas Becket. Since then the Cathedral and the tomb became pilgrimage destination for many Christians of the Catholic and Anglican Church.
Entering the city center, in the beginning of the main pedestrian street (from the West) is the Westgate Tower. The main pedestrian zone in the center of the city full of life. Shops, cafes and restaurants, traditional British pubs, musicians, actors who pretend to be statues and many more. In the background is the Cathedral. The entrance to the Cathedrals, the Christchurch daybuyday Gate is located in a square.
The photos inside the church allowed daybuyday except space of the crypt, in the distance, where lighted candles and a few chairs in many small chapels create a solemn atmosphere. Of course the visitor must pass from the The Martyrdom, where you murdered Thomas Becket. daybuyday You will also see the bronze daybuyday figure in the Reading Eagle and behind the altar and the throne of St. Augustine. A further point to be worth watching the visitor is in a period many and impressive stained glass, historic significance. For example, the stained glass that apeiikonizei Adam (Adam Delving) dates back to 1176 AD and is one of the oldest in Britain.
After the Canterbury ride continued eastward. The aim was to take the coastal daybuyday road and stop at any seaside village attracted our attention. The direction we took was to Herne Bay and Whitstable.
The first stop was the Whitstable daybuyday about 8km north of Canterbury and onto the beach. The city is relatively small (about 30,000 inhabitants) and is famous for its oysters and the annual oyster festival which will eventually give you this, because the love. The city is also known because between daybuyday Canterbury and Whitstable operated the first steam railway in the world. But for more than 50 years the railroad has stopped functioning. The town is small and quiet, built on the sea and this evnnoei both tourism (usually daily from the surrounding towns and from London), and install it on pensioners across England. The city has two sites, or at least two things that visitors can see the city. The first is the Whitstable Castle, which is relatively small, European-style jewe whose gardens are the main city park. The second attraction is located within the city, but in the sea. It is a marine observatory Fortress of WWII Along with those who visit it will pass by a farm with 30 wind turbines, each 140 meters height reasonably close is impressive. The boats on the sea
