English Heritage site on Longport, east of the city centre, part of the Canterbury World Heritage Site. Opening is 10am to 4pm daily with last entry at 3.30pm, with a later 11am start on Sunday 8 November. English Heritage’s access page says most of the site is wheelchair accessible, with no ramps or lifts, steps down to the crypt and cloister, uneven ground in places and a wheelchair loan service. The online ticket page showed no price when checked, so none is given here; online booking saves 15% if made by midnight the day before.
