Student Houses in Harbledown, Canterbury

Just west of Canterbury is the picturesque village of Harbledown, encased in fruit orchards and home to a warm community of students and families. The name of this charming area is thought to come from "hobble down" after Henry II of England walked barefoot through the village on a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral! The storied history of the area is visible in its many churches and listed buildings, including an intact Georgian terrace on the South Side.
