Question

In "The Prologue" of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, where are the pilgrims going

Answer 1

They're going to Canterbury! Canterbury is considered a holy land, and many pilgrims visited the relics of Saint Thomas Becket.

Answer 2

Many devout English pilgrims set off to visit shrines in distant holy lands, but even more choose to travel to Canterbury to visit the relics of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, where they thank the martyr for having helped them when they were in need.
