Canterbury Cathedral

Advantages: Historical benefits,good attraction for all the family to learn about
Disadvantages: Mnay steps to climb.Apart form that none

...Well as my Dover castle review seemed to go down rather well with ratings received, and this is a rather local attraction to me, I thought I would do a review won Canterbury cathedral. I can view this beautifully from my office window on my construction site, which I think is a privilege really. History of the Cathedral Well I should think most people know something about the cathedral and its history but I will merely scratch the surface of it in this review im sure? The Cathedral was founded in 597AD by St Augustine who landed on the south east corner of England as a missionary from Rome. St Augustine was given a site in Canterbury to set up his church and this was St Martins, which still stands today. This was given to him by the then King of England Ethelbert. This Church was used throughout the Roman occupation and in...

Review of Canterbury Cathedral

Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales

Advantages: First rate entertainment
Disadvantages: Not a single one!

...I do not think that we laughed so much in ages! The animated Canterbury Tales is a masterful and extremely well done re-telling of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The animation is better than first rate. The animations were undertaken by some of the top animators in Europe, made in Wales and Russia the production values were exceedingly good. It was almost possible to forget that they were animations, sometimes, the work was so exquisite. The Canterbury Tales were written by Geoffrey Chaucer who was a scholar, a gentleman, a diplomat and also something of a 14th century secret agent. The Canterbury Tales was not entirely finished, but must be one of the most enduring pieces of fiction ever written in England. The characters of the pilgrims who were taking part in the pilgrimage form London to Thomas a Becket's shrine in...

Quality Clothing in Your Shopping Basket

Advantages: Quality, price, convenience
Disadvantages: Somewhat limited availability nationally, not high fashion

...For years I shopped at Sainsburys merely for food and perhaps the odd magazine. I used their cafe and occasionally picked up a CD. My local store was large and spacious but stocked little in the way of non-food items. Eventually times got a little tighter and I stopped visiting - I became an Asda aficionado, loving in particular my weekly amble around the George clothing range and trying not to buy. Ooh it was tempting however! I then moved to Edinburgh from London and started to visit Sainsburys again and was intrigued to see Sainsburys sold clothes - and over the years Sainsburys TU clothing line has hooked me in. The Range The range is split into Mens, Womens, Childrens and Babies. When I first discovered the TU range I was invariably buying clothing for my daughter - I absolutely adored the girlswear and found the quality to...

Review of Sainsbury's TU Clothing

Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury

Advantages: A little bit of calm (and it's free!)
Disadvantages: It's tiny

...Could one visit Canterbury and not feel the inexorable tug of the majestic Cathedral? The grandeur and beauty of the building and precincts are well documented and its history formidable. In 1170 four knights, believing themselves to be acting on the instruction of Henry II, murdered Archbistop Thomas Becket in the Cathedral. Until the destruction of his shrine in 1538 by Thomas Cromwell, the cathedral became a place of pilgrimage for the old and the sick. Millions passed through in the hope of redemption in the presence of the shrine of the saint devoted to the poor and the needy. However, ice-cream vendors, jugglers, whining children, French coach tour groups and Japanese snappers can easily dominate a visit today. The hustle, the bustle, the queues and the elbows can all make for a demanding and sticky summer morning outing...

THE CANTERBURY TALES VISITOR ATTRACTION

Advantages: Wonderful experience, excellently presented, combination of sounds, smells and sights
Disadvantages: Can be busy in summer

...***** Firstly, I’ll just make clear from the outset, that this op is on only one attraction in Canterbury, the Canterbury Tales Visitor Attraction. I have given Ciao a few product suggestions of late, but was advised to write about the attraction under the category of the nearest town, since they only wanted the major cities (Edinburgh, London etc) to have subcategories of attractions and museums. I’ve just explained this so you don’t rate me as UH straight off for writing about only one aspect of this fabulous historical city – believe me, if I could write about everything that Canterbury had to offer, I would! I decided however that since this is one of my favourite places to visit whenever I return down south, it really was worthy of a mention in its own right. ***** I am pretty sure that most people...

Credit crunch cycle clothing

Advantages: Safe and secure, very quick delivery, very reasonable prices, great quality products
Disadvantages: Limited products - unless you want Speg or it's own brand then forget it

...Cycle-clothing.co.uk Cycle-clothing.co.uk is a website that, as its name suggests, sells cycle gear. The site is divided in to three separate tabs that are cycle wear, eyewear and custom designs. Whilst the first two tabs are self-explanatory the third one isn?t. With a heading of custom designs you may think that it is ?custom? clothing, i.e. items specific and unique to Cycle-clothing.co.uk. This is not the case. The custom section allows customers to send in their designs and Cycle-clothing will endeavour to produce it, for a price. This is the place where cycling clubs can get their team kit made, or an individual can get a personalised jersey made. The tab gives very broad brush prices but if you want something made then you need to contact Cycle-clothing.co.uk direct to discuss specific requirements, which are then...

Review of Olay Stretching Cloth Mask

Canterbury Christ Church College, best time of my life....

Advantages: Good courses, good tutors, great social scene, friendly and welcoming
Disadvantages: Accomodation limited

...I studied a combined honours degree in Business Studies & Sport Science and I'd do it again without hesitation. Initially Canterbury Christ Church wasn't top of my list, yet with an unexpected set of grades it was Canterbury that were the first to offer me a place and the chance to visit the campus. I visited for the first time on a snowy December day just a few days before Christmas. As I disembarked the train from London and walked up the High Street toward the campus it was almost picture perfect for the time of year with the old tudor shops and the smell of roasted chestnuts in the air. On arriving at the campus it struck me that the majority of students there are reasonably local or from London and its suburbs. There are also a small number of foreign students from all corners of the globe. The atmosphere is very welcoming...

Review of Canterbury Christ Church University

Canterbury Fever

Advantages: Absolutely beautiful
Disadvantages: Too many tourists

...You all know what it is like after Christmas, the desire to flee the country but not a penny to do it with. This year I decided that after Christmas I would take myself on a short break to Canterbury to try and rid myself of the post Christmas blues. Living in Ipswich Canterbury really isnt that difficult to get to. Having taken the train to London and catching a connection to Canterbury the only difficult task was remembering that only the first four carriages of the train went to Canterbury! I was very disappointed when I arrived at Canterbury West train station, it was in such bad repair that it seemed almost derelict and the smell was so vile that London seemed a more desirable venue for my mini break. I was soon in more joyful mood when a very chirpy taxi driver sped away from the station and through the windy roads...

GET ATTITUDE CLOTHING...

Advantages: Kool clothing that shows Attitude, online trader and mail order
Disadvantages: Pretty expensive!

...Hey People, Don’t you just love clothing with attitude? It makes a statement to anyone who sees you before you have even said anything. Just take the film MATRIX. Just look how cool those guys look, especially the long coat worn by the character "Neil Anderson"... I was skipping through my Kerrang magazine and came across an Ad for a company called "Attitude Clothing". I visited their website to look at what types of clothing were available. What is Available? · Leather Wear · Foot Wear · Officially Licensed Band Wear · Street Wear · Accessories · Gothic Clothing ........................................................................ Leather Wear ........................................................................ Well this is an area most people will visit if they’re looking for a hard image...
