The City of Canterbury and It's History

The City of Canterbury is amazing and it's history is off the charts. From Roman walls to gateway Westgate towers, you cannot help but step back in time in this beautiful historic city in Kent.

    Just amazing!! Nice filming and great choice for the musical background, specially the one at the end... History is my favourite subject and not being British born and bred makes it even more interesting to me. I congratulate you for promoting British pride through your vlogs. New generations need far more awareness of knowing where they come from and how they are as a nation. 👍😉

    What better on a monday morning to be taken on a magical tour around Canterbury with the one and only Darren john. A truly inspirational video to suit all ages, and breathtaking in its filming and musical conontation. The finesse in which the baker handled the paint scraper was sublime, if it tasted as good as it looked then it was probably ' Off The Charts'... What i noticed was cleanliness of the place, and of course the quaintness of the old book shop. a lot of the buildings reminded me of Stratford upon Avon stunning in there own right. Twa's like being taken back in time with such authenticity and style brought to you with the DJ factor. This kind of filming should gain recognition from the tourist board of England for its content and pure fact. ive never been to Canterbury but the 'Dazzler' takes one along as if you were riding tandem throughout the wonderful tour. What a tonic the ding of Darren John's bell can give, you could liken it to a wolf whistle which almost everytime makes one look up smile and take notice... Respect and Regards from Thailand Big Cee

I'm old enough to have seen buildings built and then demolished 20 or so years later, and to think some of the buildings in your video are upwards of a thousand years old. Pretty incredible. Thanks a lot for this beautiful video!

The walls are more intact, you can walk around them for miles and we have an ancient bye-law stating that you can shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow from the City walls...I've not tried it yet.

This is nowhere as beautiful as your Vlog on The WInter Wonderland and your vlog on the regent street lights. But it looks just as amazing seeing so much goes into making places Christmassy. Those buildings are amazing. Love the black and white tudor look a bit like Chester, Lincoln and York all have that on their city centre buildings. That fudge looked yummy. Canterbury Catheral wow.

    I can't belive how anyone could make a film of Canterbury and ignore the magnificent Cathedral slap dab in the middle of the city - it must have taken quite some deliberate effort to miss it! To this day, pilgrims come from all over Europe to visit the shrine of St Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was murdered there in 1170 on the orders of King Henry II and which shook the whole of Christendom. Cups of coffee my RZ.

    You are absolutely right - which is why I made a seperate video of the majestic cathedral on it's own. 👍🙏 kzread.info/dash/bejne/l59t2bWNe8nJYKw.html

    Hi Darren…just catching up on your content…thoroughly enjoyed this vlog on Canterbury….living in Scotland, I’ve not had the opportunity to visit Kent but it looks well worth a visit…I especially love proper old English boozers…reckon you should film a pub crawl with the Macmaster…I think we all know who would be last man standing!!😂🍻
