Canterbury is a typical historic
English city located in the
district of Kent in southeast
of England. It is one of the
most visited cities in the UK.
The city centre is dominated
by Canterbury Cathedral - the
oldest Cathedral in England.
It is an impressive building with
plenty of ornate details and
stained glass windows. There
are also the ancient ruins of St.
Augustine’s Abbey, St. Martin’s
Church and the Norman
Castle and these represent
the city’s history, heritage and
culture. The city has vibrant
leisure attractions including
fine restaurants, welcoming
pubs and quaint cafes. The
city centre is a pedestrianised
area with charming black-
and-white Victorian houses.
There is also a great selection
of shops. Canterbury is very
close to the beautiful beaches
of Whitstable and Herne Bay
as well as stunning English
countryside.
The Plus centre is a rural
campus located at the
University of Kent. It is built on
300 acres of parkland and is
less than 20-minutes walk from
the city centre. It is situated
on a hill and has stunning
views of the Cathedral. There
are various modern buildings
surrounded by green open
spaces, fields and forests. The
campus is self-contained and
includes all the necessary
amenities such as bars, shops, a
sports centre, a bookshop and
bus stops. It is an open campus
but very safe and offers
24-hour security. The sports
facilities are excellent with
multi-purpose halls, squash
courts, a climbing wall, playing
fields and many others.
