We are the Medway Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will walk along the promenade and shingle to the hamlet of Shellness (which has historically been known as a home for smugglers). We then head south-west through the Harty marshes bird sanctuary. The bird hide here is open to the public so bring small binoculars to view ducks, geese and raptors. Bring a packed lunch to eat at St Thomas's church before returning via Capel Fleet bird observatory past Elliotts farm. Head north-east following the Capel Fleet waterways via PROWS over fields back to Leysdown.
Terrain: The walk is predominantly flat with gates and footbridges, but no stiles. Some road and concreted path walking, but grassland paths from Shellness to Sayes Court.
Please park considerately in Wing Road or 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).
