Description
With coastline making up half of the county's border, it's not surprising that Kent is blessed with some superb waterside walks. Add to that an eclectic mix of rivers, lakes and one of the few canals in South East England, and the Kentish walker is spoilt for choice when it comes to walks by the water.
Here you'll find 20 circular walks, showcasing the best that the Garden of England has to offer. Routes vary in length between 2 and 8 miles, and each has a recommended refreshment stop.
Highlights include:
*Riverside walks through the Stour Valley near Chartham and Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve
*Iconic coastal routes with views of the White Cliffs of Dover and Pegwell Bay
*Gentle strolls through riverside villages of Farningham, Horton Kirby and Wateringbury
*Birdwatching at Romney Marsh and Leybourne Lakes
*Coastal circuits at Allhallows-On-Sea, Folkestone and the historic quayside at Faversham
