Overview

A level walk starting and finishing in the old town of FAVERSHAM, using the Saxon Shore Way and the Swale Heritage Trail, to form a circuit inside the Faversham Creek and the Oare  Creek.  Most of the walk is on a grass embankment with a little more than 1 km on roadside pavement and attractive town streets. Extensive boat moorings and wild fowl on the creeks add interest to the walk. No stiles.

We would encourage car sharing for this walk if possible. The start and finish of this walk are at the mediaeval Market Place in the town centre, a short walk and signed from these car parks.  Toilets in car parks. This area is pedestrianised.
Refreshments at the many cafes, pubs and restaurants in Faversham or drive back to Oare where there are 2 pubs and a Creekside Cafe. Although we pass the Shipwrights Inn, they have limited parking and menu.
