On our way to Birmingham, we stop at Canterbury, home of the famous cathedral which the pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales could not wait to get to. It is really a fantastic, beautiful building right in the middle of the picturesque old town of Canterbury. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in the south-east of England. We visited the grounds, the quire and the crypt and cloister of this immense building, saw the place where Thomas Becket was murdered and tons of ornate graves like the one of King Henry IV.
