"Kent people's stronghold", with a pretty impressive cathedral splat in the middle, seen as a place of pilgrimage for Christians ever since 1170. Also kindly provided inspiration for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (14th Century), but I'm sure you figured that one out a while ago. Lots of things in the relative outskirts as well, including an amusing first encounter with local 'youth' which involved sensing a distinct smell of pot after they'd walked by. Guess there isn't much else to do on the weekends. |

 Roaming through the surrounding areas. The small building behind the arches is a combination of St Andrew's Chapel and Treasury. |

 Cloisters. |

 Quaint chess-piece building on Longport (just as it switches from Monastery St) on the way to St Augustine's Abbey. |
 Cemetery by the St Mary's Church, with grave stones resembling old, wobbly, crooked, rotten stone teeth. Hurrah, adjectives. |
