Overview

A leisurely, flat spring seafront walk to blow away the cobwebs!\nFree on-street parking on Beacon Hill and roads surrounding the Kings Hall, Herne Bay.\nWe take the mud-free coastal paths along the historic seafront in Herne Bay.\nWe skirt along the edge of Swalecliffe before passing in front of the famous Tankerton slopes and beach-huts before reaching the popular attraction of Whitstable Harbour at our half-way point. After a brief refreshment and comfort stop we retrace our steps back to Herne Bay.
