Journeys through here in Canterbury
Every curated route, theme and story in the Atlas that passes through Canterbury. None of them was written to fill this page.
Camino & Sacred Europe
The English end: a cathedral, a murder in it, and a pilgrims' road out of London.
The European Heritage Route
An hour out, and the mother church of a global communion.
Sacred Europe
A murder in 1170 made this the most walked-to place in medieval England.
What a pilgrimage is for when you do not believe
Three hundred thousand people a year walk to Santiago. Most of them do not describe the reason as religious, and the Camino has absorbed that without much difficulty.
This page exists because Canterbury has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Canterbury.
