Westgate Towers Museum & Viewpoint is housed in the country's largest surviving medieval gatehouse. Built in 1380 over the old London road, the Westgate was one of seven such structures constructed to defend the key access points into the city.

Gateway to the walls. Also museum ,etc. Westgate gardens across the road, beautiful walk (or cycle) along the river, passes a great children's playground.

Situated, as its name suggests, at the westernmost point of the old city's boundary, Westgate Towers Museum & Viewpoint is housed in the country's largest surviving medieval gatehouse. Built in 1380, the Westgate was one of seven such structures built to defend the access points into the city. Today, this impressive building houses a fascinating museum showcasing the history of the city along with its own storied past. A highlight for most is the opportunity to visit an original "felon's" cell dating from the early 19th century (the building once served as a jail and police station).

A very historic gateway to the City, but the museum was only opened a couple of years ago - worth a look for the 'murder hole'!!!! And definitely worth climbing the stairs for the city wide views

England's largest preserved city gateway, built in 1380 and used for many years as the city prison. You can see the prison cells in The Pound- trendy latest addition to Canterbury's night scene.
