We are the Medway Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walk along the promenade and shingle to the hamlet of Shellness, and then south-west through the Harty marshes bird sanctuary. The bird hide there allows views across three waterways and the Swale so small binoculars will show all the sights. Return back via the Isle of Harty Walk past the bird hide (2) used to observe birds during the breeding season. (Not open to us).
Terrain: The walk is flat with gates, but no stiles. Some road walking, but grassland through the RSPB nature reserve.
Bring a packed lunch as we will stop for lunch at St. Thomas's church (the remotest church in the UK). Note: We are walking this route to record points of interest for KCC Explore Kent project and photographs will be taken during the walk.
Please park considerately in Wing Road or the surrounding roads e.g. Seaview Avenue. Meet near the gate at the corner of Wing Road and Seaview Avenue. Nearest Post Code: ME124QX (what 3 words: vibe.louder.avoiding).
