I too like Canterbury when we use the Aire there usually have 3 nights there before we cross the channel, easy bus rides to Folkestone and Margate etc from there, I too refuse to pay to enter any Church Cathedral or whatever, these were built off the backs of the Peasants and tythes in the past and the Church still wants us peasants to pay for their upkeep, Turn them all into Wetherspoons pubs I say and watch the congregation grow, I am an Atheist so not interest in all the God stuff but do admire the Architecture from afar, there are 2 good whether spoon pubs in Canterbury as most will know,
