American Connections Tour
Dates in July - November (New dates added regularly)
Discover the strong bond that Canterbury Cathedral has with the United States.
Throughout history, Canterbury’s inhabitants have gone on to shape American history, and in turn Americans have made their mark on Canterbury Cathedral.
