Overview

A lovely walk to the Kent coast starting at Faversham with its medieval streets and bustling market square.

We follow the Saxon Shore Way passing a number of marshes and nature reserves. There are fine views of the Swale Estuary. We reach the coast and stop for lunch when we get to Forget Me Not cafe, but please bring a packed lunch.

After lunch we continue along the Saxon Shore Way along the beautiful coastline to the picturesque fishing and harbour town at Whitstable.
