Begin your journey
Your journey starts at the Tabard Inn, in London where you meet Chaucer and his merry band of pilgrims. On your walk to Canterbury you will be entertained by the stories of chivalry, romance and even horror.
The Knight’s Tale
The Knight is the first to tell his tale. It is a story rich in love, rivalry and chivalry. Two men fall in love with the same beautiful young girl. But who will win her heart?
The Miller’s Tale
A bawdy tale, telling a rather different story of love. A deceitful clerk tries to have his way with the carpenter's wife - and gets his just desserts!
The Wife of Bath’s Tale
This take ask the question to which every man would like the answer - 'What do women most desire?' The Wife of Bath should know - she's had five husbands!
The Nun’s Priest’s Tale
A farmyard fable. Can Chanticleer the cock outwit the cunning old fox, or will he become his next meal?
The Pardoner’s Tale
A thrilling tale of death and trickery and one which will leave you with a slight tingle down your spine. The tale has an unexpected ending - watch out!
St Thomas Becket
The End of the Road
Your journey ends at the breathtaking reconstruction of the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, the very reason for Canterbury’s position throughout the years as a major destination for pilgrims and tourists alike. As you leave, you pass through Canterbury’s recreated medieval market place where you can browse through the range of quality gifts and souvenirs.
Audio tours are available in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. There is also a children’s audio tour available in English.
The Canterbury Tales is owned and operated by Continuum.
