- Overflowing with history and culture, Canterbury is the ultimate day-trip from London. We were hard pressed to fit everything into one visit! Join my sister and I as we test our knowledge while exploring Canterbury Cathedral, the Buttermarket, breath-taking medieval streets, and St. Martin’s Church.

Thank you girls for a very interesting video. I live in England and regret I've never visited Canterbury.
It’s a great day trip if you have the chance 😊so glad you enjoyed it!
Teaching a Brit history that I didn't know so not only an enjoyable tour of Canterbury but an educational one as well. 😊The county of Kent is known as the Garden of England and it is one of my favourites. Hopefully your sister can return soon Michelle. x.
I read that Kent is referred to as the Garden of England, which makes we want to go back and explore more! I'm so glad you experienced value from this episode - I know we sure did making it!
That was great. I have to plan a visit. 😊👍
You should!
The black death was also known as The Plague (pronounced play-gue like The Hague in the Netherlands) 😀🤣
🤣🤣🤣 it’s the subtle pronunciation of words in England that really highlight my Canadian accent lol!
The editing on your videos are fantastic. Another beautiful informative film. Thank you.👍
Glad you enjoyed it Dean! I’ll keep ‘em coming!
So happy that you’ve made it to Canterbury! Love the city and the area; so much to see/do! (Disclosure-may have mentioned this in an earlier reply.) My family and I lived in C’bury for 18 mo while I was a Fulbright exchange teacher (chemistry) at Kings School. In fact, at 8:05, as you entered Green Court, my classroom was (about) diagonally opposite to you. Always met my wife and kids in Buttermarket on my AM break for a tea. I try to return from the States to visit friends as often as possible. Will be making that trip, along with my sons, in Sept. And, loved Nicole’s expression entering the Crypt!
So glad you enjoyed this episode Arthur! It sounds like you really enjoyed your time in Canterbury! Nicole's expression at the Crypt door makes me laugh every time - we're obviously related... expressive face gene LOL
That was a lovely video, you really lucked out with the weather. Hope your sister enjoyed her stay.
My sister said she felt that she got the full London experience while she was here and that the Canterbury trip was the cherry on top. Loved having her here! Glad you enjoyed the episode; you're correct, the weather was really on our side that day!
Loved this. It was both entertaining and informative. Thank you so much. Had to laugh out loud when Nicole said she didn't know when the 16th century was. Comedy Gold ;-))
I love that part haha! I couldn't have asked for a better companion on this adventure. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Really well edited and put together. I enjoyed it. Thank you. And as I think some others have said - ‘Plague’ is pronounced ‘Plaig’ (the ‘a’ sounding as in ‘play’).
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed this episode! We had so much fun learning about Canterbury. LOL I don't know what my issue is with the word 'plague' - really stumps me!
A real joy to watch. Never been to Canterbury but I learnt a lot of history about it today.
Brilliant.👍
Wonderful Dean! Glad you enjoyed learning about Canterbury as well!

What do want to get across, how pro you vlogs are, stunning.
Lasty, than you for the respect you show our great country and the history we have. oustanding
I've made it my mission to make the most of my time in the UK! Glad you've found our abroad community - welcome! Nicole and I still talk about our Canterbury trip like it just happened... so much fun!
@@ACanadianAbroadMichelle thank you for your reply, as i said, i lived where you lived, wont give details out, ofr privacy, and delivered you part of the world opposite the green, but keep up the videos. send UK best wishes to your sister, her face said it all, come back again soon
That was both entertaining AND educational to watch. Thank you. Cathedrals are often covered in scaffolding as maintenance is ongoing, but I usually buy a postcard of the building so that I can see what it looks like uncovered, while I’m checking it out.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it - we loved visiting Canterbury! I made sure to google some old & new photos of the Cathedral to get a full picture. Love the post card idea!
The Norman architecture and later additions to the cathedral is what I like most about Canterbury.
The Cathedral was stunning 😍
Hello 🙂 I’m from Kent, the Garden of England! Named because of all the greenery and fruit/veg produce that comes from here - oh and hops of course, for making beer! If you ever see buildings in and around Kent, that have a pointy conical roof, that is an Oast House, where the hops were dried for the making of beer and ales. My son had his Graduation ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral in 2015 and it was covered in scaffolding then! There are lots of castles, cathedrals and historic places of interest in Kent, so make another train trip out to us again 🙂
Welcome Helen from Kent! What an iconic place for your son to have had his graduation ceremony! I am very interested in returning to Kent; sounds like there are plenty of things to see and memories to be made.
If you like gardens you might like Kew Gardens in London.
… COMING SOON! 🤫
What a great video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to bring you all along :)
You should have a lot more followers, you camera and editing work is very good. Keep going, I'm sure more people will start watching, Rome wasn't built in a day 👍
Thank you Dazza! I create videos/episodes that I genuinely enjoy making. The goal is to get out there, learn something new, have some fun and bring a few of you along with me (however many that may be)! Welcome to the abroad community :)
@@ACanadianAbroadMichelle Good for you...... You're lucky, you're living in one of the best Cities in the World.. Enjoy it .
Not sure if you came across the Royal Tombs inside the cathedral but a point of interest is that Henry IV is buried alongside his uncle the Black Prince
So what I hear you ask........well the interesting or rather odd thing is that Henry murdered the Black Prince's son Richard II (probably by starvation) in the dungeon of Pontefract Castle
I’ve added “visit Pontefract Castle and add dungeon tour option” to my list!
Plague pronounced “Play G”
I don’t know why I find it so challenging 😂
I am most Brits couldn’t correctly pronounce Saskatchewan.
If the map ,train route says its going to or stopping at a Town it usually does, Its not Hogwarts, Trains tend to stay on the Rails ,and last time I travelled on the permanent way , NO roundabouts, Roundhouse, at Tibshelf. But you still have to stay on the rails 🚈 🙄
Haha! I'll keep this in mind next time I board a train! I'm always afraid of being overly confident and walking onto the wrong one, granted, I haven't made that mistake yet!
Great video. Also I say this respectfully but you are 👌
Glad to hear you enjoyed it (one of my favourite adventures for sure!)
Canterbury also has the oldest Cafe Nero in the country, dating from 1573. Don't believe me? It's on the High Street.
How did Cafe Nero start there… gotta be a good story there!
@@ACanadianAbroadMichelle It didn't really but the Cafe Nero in the High Street has a hanging sign next to the date on the building which is 1573
That was well made. Thank you.
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
In April.
Glad you enjoyed the episode! It was a great day!
"Whan that Aprille with hir shores soote,
The droghte of Merche hath perced to the roote......"
Fyi, plague is pronounced playg. 😉
The never ending pronunciation woes continue for me as per usual 😂 thank you for keeping me in check!
@@ACanadianAbroadMichelle 🙂 I do really enjoy your videos by the way.
Plague is pronounced "Playg"
One day... I will get it right LOL Thank you!
David Copperfield was semi autobiographical.
Oooh interesting!
Kings is the worlds oldest school and not just Englands, it is also a school of totally unpretentious ideas like Slough Grammer and Harrow.
Wow! What a title to hold!
@@ACanadianAbroadMichelle Sorry, Slough Grammar by the way, is Eton
