Geoffrey Chaucer is known as the “father of English literature” for his medieval classic The Canterbury Tales, a work that encouraged writers of his time to write in Middle English rather than French.
Canterbury Cathedral sits at the heart of English history, with over 1,400 years of stories for you to discover. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cathedral sits alongside the Giza Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and Chichen-Itza as a must-visit location of outstanding universal value to humanity.
