Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury

Tour one of Canterbury's oldest buildings at Eastbridge Hospital. Built in the 12th century, the site originally provided refuge for pilgrims on their way to Canterbury Cathedral following the murder of St. Thomas Beckett. Today, it continues to offer accommodations for the elderly of Canterbury. The well-maintained building hasn't changed much since its construction, and information boards upstairs in the chapel to give you a better outlook on the history of the place. Keep your eye out for temporary art exhibits, hosted here from time to time. For travelers who use our international travel planner, Canterbury holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Eastbridge Hospital and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.
