Canterbury
Kent
The appearance of Canterbury, from whatever part approached, is exquisitely beautiful, and as we enter, symbols of its antiquity stare us in the face everywhere.
Westenhanger
Near this is the old baronial seat, some say the kingly palace, of Westenhanger, once the residence of the ill-fated Fair Rosamond. The remains are probably of the period of Edward III., and but poorly represent their pristine grandeur. Two miles north is Monk’s Horton Priory, and a short distance beyond, Lyminge Church; two miles to the east, Beachborough Park, and three miles to the south-east is Hythe.
