We're planning on making the time honoured move out of SE London (East Dulwich) to Kent and having read loads of messages on mumsnet we are particularly interested in Canterbury but know nothing about it! Can anyone tell me anything about good places to live in/near to Canterbury please? I found an old review on the Guardian website that said "Within the walls are lanes with brooks and medieval houses, where you can still imagine monks tending duck ponds. There are nice villagey inner areas, such as St Dunstan's. The best suburban streets are south of the centre on the hills around the Old Dover Road and towards the university in the north-east. The countryside is much in demand, especially those lovely villages, such as Chartham and Wye". This was written 5 years ago so don't know if it's still relevant?
We have 3 little girls (aged 3,5 and 7) so schools will be very important but more than anything at this point we want to get a feel for the different parts of Canterbury in particularly that are family friendly. Any thoughts very gratefully received!
