Your journey to the UK is not only going to be about schooling, you would have to visit some historic places around your city of study. So, each week we provide you places you can visit whilst you study in different places in the UK. Today, our trip takes us to Canterbury Cathedral.

Canterbury Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, striking Canterbury Cathedral-the "Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Communion," and one of the country's most important (and oldest) Christian structures-reflects components of various architectural styles from different centuries.

A must-visit when in Canterbury, this popular attraction is infamous for having been the place where Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170. Becket had crossed paths with King Henry II, whose knights reputedly misinterpreted a comment he made wishing the Archbishop "gone" as an order to kill him. Nearly 900 years later, it's still chilling to stand in the exact spot in the Northwest Transept where this heinous crime was committed.

Another interesting spot to check out is the choir. Boasting a choir screen dating from 1411, the magnificent stone work is decorated with angels carrying shields and the crowned figures of six monarchs: Henry V, Richard II, Ethelbert of Kent, Edward the Confessor, Henry IV, and Henry VI. Be sure to also venture down to the crypt, notable for its fine decorative flourishes, and for souvenirs, visit the cathedral shop just around the corner on Burgate Street.

For a truly unique experience, plan a stay at Canterbury Cathedral Lodge. Owned by the cathedral, this splendid luxury hotel combines superb views overlooking beautiful gardens with wonderful views of the cathedral, as well as exclusive access to the Cathedral Precincts. Another must-do is a guided tour (opt for the longer 60-minute version covering the Great Cloister and Chapter House, well worth the investment of time). The cathedral is also famous as part of the Pilgrim's Way, a route for pilgrimages from Winchester and Rochester.

This is an exciting place to be at but the fact is that there are more places that you can visit in Canterbury but to achieve that you have to begin your journey to study first and to achieve that begin your journey at www.Studysey.com
