Opposite the pub was once a large flour mill, long since burnt down. We walked across the sluice and alongside the old mill race on the crystal clear River Stour and into Canterbury centre.


Got a coffee, and then had a look round the cathedral.








Then we had a look around the Beaney House museum, which housed an interesting assortment of paintings, taxidermy and miscellaneous items.
Lunch at the Foundry brewpub.

After lunch, because it was just round the corner, we went on a 45-minute punt tour on the River Stour. Our punter, Anthony, gave an informative and funny narrative as he punted.

There were several very low bridges.


Mayflies were hatching from the river. Sparrows, impersonating Flycatchers, were darting out from the banks to gobble them up.
