Luxury holidays in Canterbury

When to go

Canterbury is a year-round destination, but the surrounding countryside will be at its best in spring and summer.

Getting there

• Planes

  The closest airport is London Gatwick, around 90 minutes’ drive from the city gates.

• Trains

  The city’s main train station, Canterbury West, can be reached from London St Pancras in under an hour.

• Automobiles

  Many visitors arrive by car, and it certainly pays to have your own set of wheels if you plan to explore rural Kent.
