Description
Walking in the Garden of England.
Kent offers far more than its famous coastline at Dover. The North Downs, greensand hills and The Weald provide a varied landscape of woodland, orchards, farms and ancient villages. This guide opens up the opportunity to explore different parts of the county through short trips from a base or multiple stays in the area.
40 circular walks and eleven longer routes.
Kev Reynolds describes day walks of approximately 7–15 kilometres in western Kent and The Weald, as well as northern and eastern parts of the county. The book also provides an overview of long-distance routes such as the North Downs Way, Saxon Shore Way and Medway Valley Walk. This gives you both specific walk suggestions and ideas for further hiking.
River valleys, coast and historic sites.
The routes take you to places including the small settlements around Sevenoaks, Westerham, Faversham and Canterbury, along rivers and out towards Sandwich and Dover. Historic buildings and ancient travel landscapes add extra interest to the walking day. Maps and route descriptions help you choose which places and landscapes best suit your interests.
Who is the book for?
The guide is suitable for regular walkers who want straightforward day walks without technical challenges. Kent offers walking opportunities throughout the year, and the selection makes it possible to adapt both terrain and daily distance. Use the book to find quiet woodland walks, open viewpoints or coastal hikes, with time for stops in the villages along the way.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has been publishing guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain enthusiasts who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterises these compact books for walking, trekking and other outdoor experiences.
