The walk to St Martins was much nicer (and shorter) than expected. The church itself was closed, (open very limited times) but the churchyard was pretty and peaceful - with wlecome benches. Lovely views over the city and cathedral.

Really wanted to see this church as it's in the trilogy of world heritage sights. Unfortunately our schedule was unable to fit in with the limited opening times. However, we did walk round there after going to the Abbey so we could at least see the outside. A shame to have missed seeing inside as I gather it's impressive

A real sense of history here but disappointingly limited opening hours. Most casual visitors will find it locked - so check in advance if you really want to see it.

This quaint little church is loaded with history. When Augustine came to Britain in 597, it was at the request of a woman named Bertha (wife of the Kentish King) who was ALREADY worshiping on this spot. (That THAT Canterbury Cathedral!) There's ample evidence that the building dates back to Roman times in the architecture, making this an interesting stop... More
