Overview

  • Welcome to the holiest city in England—so why is it so full of 'spirits'? Maybe because everyone who came here ended up dead! Follow the trail of the 'Death Cart' through the medieval streets, where pilgrims died of the plague before they could even finish their prayers. See where Thomas Becket had his brains scattered across the Cathedral floor (talk about a headache!) and dodge the ghosts of the martyrs who met a very fiery end. Canterbury is a city where the 'spirit' is very much alive—even if the people aren't!
