Part of the old walls remains to the south with a walkway along it, and the Westgate Tower survives as an entrance through those ancient fortifications, a picturesque landmark with modern traffic swirling all around it. Canterbury feels like a small town, but it's a medium-sized city with a population about 55,000, so it's big enough to have many interesting things to see, especially with that great history, yet not so big or crowded so that you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, especially in the off-season, when it seems like a village. The river Stour crosses through the middle of Canterbury, lined with walking paths, some gardens, and offering an opportunity for a peaceful boat ride. Canterbury's extensive medieval street pattern, complemented by the many surviving historic buildings, courtyards, and open spaces, creates an intimate and closed town brimming with interest. A lively pedestrian road lined with shops, pubs, and restaurants runs straight across the city from the Westgate, forming the high street, with numerous small pedestrian lanes branching out from it.
