Nice for a short walk or football game. You can walk through the garden or along the top of Canterbury city wall. There’s a cute little coffee / tea shack half way through.

Nightlife
If you want to see a show, The Marlowe is a great theatre. We often get many of the London shows during their tours for a fraction of the price.

Really cool location! This used to be the old Canterbury prison. You can sit and drink in the old prison cells. The drinks are a bit expensive, but they have a good selection.
