Why CCCU?

Canterbury is a beautiful cathedral city nestled in the ‘Garden of England’.

The ancient city wall, originally built by the Romans, encircles the medieval town centre which boasts cobbled streets and timber-framed houses, with an abundance of shops and restaurants to suit everyone’s needs. Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Canterbury features many other great tourist attractions like the Canterbury Tales, Historic River Tours and St Augustine’s Abbey. 

Canterbury is a diverse and beautiful city – both a centre for the arts and a great destination for shopping and socialising. Canterbury’s location means that London and Europe are within easy reach, and a visit to the coast is just a short drive away. Every year it plays host to a number of festivals and the bars, clubs and restaurants are popular all year round. 

CCCU is located in the city centre itself, making us the perfect location to stay and explore the city, whether you're here for the history or the latest attractions. Wherever you’re from you can look forward to enjoying all it has to offer, with confidence.

Our facilities on North Holmes Road and Augustine House are also equipped to handle the demands of every type of summer booking; from private groups and residential conferences, to summer schools of all kinds, we have the facilities to accommodate your requests.
