Canterbury tours go digital
The city of Canterbury has been added to a growing list of MP3 walking tours of the UK by specialist company Tourist Track.
Developed in partnership with Canterbury City Council, and written with the help of an experienced local Blue Badge guide, the Canterbury tour pack contains two tours: Heritage Highlights and The Pilgrims’ Trail.
Heritage Highlights takes in Canterbury Cathedral, alongside the two other attractions that make up the city’s World Heritage site – St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church. Users will also be taken along a section of the ancient city walls and pass by Dane John Gardens in this 60-minute walk.
The Pilgrims’ Trail is a 45-minute stroll past historic attractions such as Sir John Boys’ House, a medieval Dominican friary, the Marlowe Theatre, the magnificent West Gate, the Museum of Canterbury, the Rupert Bear Museum and Canterbury Tales.
The Canterbury tour pack, containing both tours and maps costs £5 to download, and offers visitors a flexible way to be guided around the ancient city.
Tours director Tim Gillett said: “It has taken us a while to get this Canterbury product up and running but we are delighted to add this beautiful city to our list of destinations. We look forward to adding more destinations to the Tourist Tracks family over the course of 2007.”
Tourist Tracks is currenty developing a licensing scheme for hotels, self-catering properties, language schools and conference organisers.
