For at least fourteen hundred years the worship of God has been offered on the site of this Cathedral, and through the prayers of the Church his power and grace have shaped human lives.

Canterbury Cathedral has a tradition of visitor welcome that reaches back to the days of medieval pilgrimages. This is not only fully maintained today, but has been developed to meet the needs of modern tourists.

To all our visitors we extend a warm welcome and hope that you will make your own pilgrimage to Canterbury to share with us the experience of this, one of the great holy places of Christendom.
