Canterbury is a district of Kent with city status across its whole area. It is named after the cathedral city of Canterbury, where the council sits, and it also takes in the towns of Whitstable, Herne Bay and Fordwich, many villages and their countryside, with the North Sea coast along its northern edge.
Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, stands within the city walls. With the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey, founded in AD 598 just outside the walls, and St Martin's Church, it forms a World Heritage Site. The Westgate survives from the medieval defences, and the city has the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University. Whitstable was long known for its oysters and still has a working harbour, and Herne Bay's seafront has a clock tower built in 1837.
Herne Bay remains a separate town, with countryside between it and Canterbury. The coast runs from Seasalter, at the western end of Whitstable, past Tankerton to Herne Bay and its two miles of shingle beach. Between the coast and the city lies the Forest of Blean, the Great Stour flows through Canterbury towards Fordwich, and parts of the district are in the Kent Downs, a protected landscape.
