The Canterbury Tales visitor attraction recreates the journey of Chaucer's medieval pilgrims through atmospheric tableaux and audio-visual storytelling in a converted medieval church, bringing the stories of the Knight, the Wife of Bath, the Miller, and their companions to vivid life. The high street of Canterbury — Mercery Lane — was the main pilgrim route and still retains medieval buildings that frame the cathedral gateway. Hotels near the Canterbury Tales attraction are in the pedestrianised centre, ideally placed for exploring the entirety of this richly historic Kentish city.
