FOODIE DESTINATION: Canterbury
The cathedral city of Canterbury in Kent has a thriving culinary scene, as well as being a great base for checking out the nearby seaside towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay. Corner House restaurant (cornerhouserestaurants.co.uk) is set in a 16th-century coach house and champions locally grown organic produce with dishes like Stour Valley duck with soy and maple. Artisanal bakery Gilda (gildabakery.com) in Bishopsbourne is housed in a converted open-plan farm, and crafts specialties like brie and spring onion sourdough, and seasonal fruit cruffins.
