Geoffrey Chaucer's famous Tales narrate the journeys of pilgrims to which historical destination?

The correct answer is Canterbury. Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" features a group of pilgrims who travel to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. The book is a rich collection of stories told by these pilgrims as they journey together, reflecting various aspects of medieval society, including different social classes and occupations.

Canterbury holds significant historical and religious importance, as it was a major pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. The tales not only provide entertainment but also offer insight into the characters’ lives and the cultural context of the time. The other locations mentioned—York, Gloucester, and Oxford—are notable in their own right but do not hold the same connection to the pilgrimage and narrative context that Canterbury does within Chaucer's work.
