Canterbury; Saturday, 12 April, 2014

Breakfast consumed I headed the short distance over to the bus station to pick up the 9:45 bus out to Sandwich, from where it was a mile or so walk along the side of the River Stour to reach the Roman fort at Richborough.

I had a long visit to the site before heading back into Sandwich for a look around, and a spot of lunch, before catching an early afternoon bus back into town.

I headed up through the city centre and stopped off at the Eastbridge Hospital to have a look there, before heading over to the Cathedral, taking the advice of the guidebook to avoid the queues of the morning by turning up mid-afternoon, just before they started to close everything down for evensong.

I had a long look round the Cathedral, making sure I did the Choir first as that was due to close shortly after I arrived.

From the Cathedral I had a bit of a wander through town towards the river where I picked up a punt tour of the river with a very knowledgeable guide.

After the tour on the Stour I had a long wander through the city centre before heading back to the hotel to freshen up ready to head back out for dinner.
