Before there were backpackers and interrail passes, there were pilgrims. And for centuries, they flocked by foot, horseback, or cart to one place above all others—Canterbury Cathedral. Rising like a gothic crown over the medieval streets of Kent, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is more than just a beautiful building. It’s the heart of a thousand stories, from martyrdom to miracles.

If waterfalls had souls, St. Nectan’s Glen would be an old one. Tucked away in a deep, wooded valley near Tintagel, Cornwall — the legendary land of King Arthur — lies a forest glade that hums with something ancient. Here, a narrow trail leads you not just through nature, but into a realm where Celtic legend, quiet prayer, and elemental beauty intertwine.
