Canterbury
England's most famous cathedral city, Canterbury sits in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent. With part
of the city designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Canterbury today is a delightful mixture of
architecture, history, arts and culture, museums, shops of every description, visitor attractions and good restaurants
and pubs. The City began as the Roman settlement of Duovernum. It was to Canterbury that Augustine came in
AD597, sent from Rome to bring Christianity to England. Ruins of the abbey that he founded, now an English
Heritage site, stand just outside the city walls. Along with the cathedral and England's oldest parish church of St
Martin, St Augustine's Abbey makes up the city's World Heritage Site.
Once visitors arrive in the area they find it's easy to get around. Buses run throughout the day and early evening,
although services to rural areas are less frequent. Free timetables are available from bus stations and visitor
information centres. Much of the centre of Canterbury is pedestrianised, making it a safer, cleaner and more pleasing
place to wander around. To ease congestion in this small city, motorists are encouraged to leave their cars at one of
the 'Park & Ride' sites, although there are car parks in the city centre.
1. Can you drive around the city centre?
2. How much do bus timetables cost and where can you get them?
3. Why does the text say that it is nice to walk around the city centre?
4. Can you take a bus around eleven in the evening in Canterbury?
5. Why is Canterbury very famous, according to the text?

EXAMPLE:
