The closest other city pages are Ipswich (87km), London (88km) and Brighton (99km). Courses between two cities can appear on both pages, since each page covers its own 50km circle.
Each page measures from one point in the centre of Canterbury, and a course appears only if it has a map position. As a result, a club just outside the circle is not listed here, although it may be on a neighbouring page.
