Canterbury - Riverside Cottages And Blooms - Travel Print
Captured here is a bend of the River Stour in Canterbury, timber-framed cottages leaning above the water beneath a bright, cloud-scattered sky. Foxgloves and dahlias crowd the near bank in orange, pink and gold, a punt drifting quietly past weathered brick and stone.
A charming piece for garden lovers, romantics and anyone drawn to England's quieter, flower-fringed waterways.

Destination write-up
Here’s the write-up that features on your print.
Canterbury, a city where faith and history walk hand in hand, unfolds gently on the banks of the River Stour. For centuries pilgrims have followed the road from London, drawn by bells and spires, and the city still carries that sense of quiet arrival.
Wander into Canterbury Cathedral, its Gothic towers rising above the rooftops, where the shrine of Thomas Becket once drew the faithful from across Europe. Trace the medieval walls that encircle the old town, pause at the ruined grandeur of St Augustine's Abbey, and cross the ancient Westgate Towers, the largest surviving city gate in England. Along the water, punts drift beneath weeping willows, past timber-framed houses leaning over the Stour.
Beyond its sacred stones, Canterbury hums with everyday life: independent bookshops, riverside pubs, and the annual Canterbury Festival filling streets with music and light. Chaucer's pilgrims linger still in spirit, their tales echoing through lanes that lead back to the cathedral's quiet close.
Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
