Westgate Towers Canterbury, built around 1370, is the last surviving city gate of 7 original Medieval gates surrounding the city of Canterbury.
Just over the road from the towers is Westgate Gardens. Last month my friend and I decided to have a day out in Canterbury, my friend suggested a walk in the gardens as it was a lovely sunny day but very cold. I was a child the last time I was in the gardens and I was was amazed at how lovely the gardens are, even in January :)
Westgate Towers from the Gardens.
The River Stour flowing through the gardens.
Remains of what I presume were once Monastic buildings.
Looking through to the 200 year old Oriental Plane Tree, which is just amazing:)
The spires of the Cathedral peeping over the roofs :)
Beautiful gateway, again I would assume that at one stage this was part of Monastic Medieval buildings.
Although it was January, walking through the gardens in the lovely sunshine was a real treat :)
It was so peaceful walking by the river, I must go back and visit again in the summer :)
A few photos of winter trees, showing their beauty whatever the season
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk, when we left the gardens we made our way to a local well known Italian Restaurant, where we had a warm up and some lovely food.
