Canterbury Historic River Tours
Climb aboard and meander down the river on a journey into Canterbury’s historical hidden past. Visit the Franciscan island, also known as The Greyfriars, which is home to the oldest example of Franciscan architecture in Britain, with its beautiful 13th century chapel spanning the River Stour. Learn about 
the Roman occupation of Canterbury, the arrival of Christianity, why a gruesome murder in the cathedral put Canterbury on the world map, why did Henry 8th destroy Thomas Becket’s shrine? Discover Canterbury’s infamous ducking stool and its many claimed drastic uses. Passing a wealth of medieval architecture on each side of the river our experienced historic guides will take you on a journey back over 1500 years into the city’s past.
