The Kent Wheel
Following a short visit last year, the giant Ferris wheel returned to the Canterbury campus this summer as part of the University of Kent’s successful 50th anniversary celebrations.
The Wheel was 33m tall, had 24 'pods' and took approx. 10 minutes per journey. Visitors could enjoy panoramic views of the city of Canterbury and see from coast to coast, spotting local landmarks including Canterbury Cathedral and the Maunsell Sea Forts at Whitstable.
If you have photos of your time on the Wheel, share them with us using #KentWheel!
