Features |
This is an easy walk, physically plus the directions are fairly straightforward. One of the attractions of this walk is that it provides a good contrast to some of the classic coastal walks, such as Seaford to Eastbourne (book 2 walk no.28), or Hastings to Rye (book 2 walk no.29). Phone ahead for The Sportsman pub. |
Transport |
Trains go from London Victoria to Faversham, journey time just over an hour. Whitstable is one stop down the line from Faversham, so buy a day return to Whitstable. |
