On the weekend I was in Kent for a friend's birthday party. On Sunday we had a few spare hours before we needed to head back to London, so we made the most of the gorgeous autumnal weather and visited Canterbury Cathedral. The whole cathedral precinct is beautiful - the various parts of the main cathedral building (the nave, the quire, the crypt) all had stunning historical architecture...and the lovely morning sun slanting through the windows lent a lovely light to bring out the all of the beautiful details. The high vaulted ceiling in the nave was particularly stunning. Once we ventured outside we could also enjoy the cloisters and some lovely gardens in cathedral close.
Unfortunately we had to be back in London by mid afternoon for another birthday party so didn't have time to explore the rest of Canterbury...which is really the perfect reason for another visit in the future...
