Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

Report

This is an enjoyable lengthy walk across the North Downs. Starting from Faversham it rises through soft fruit orchards onto the wooded and open fields across the downs. Follows wide parkland vale with summer cattle. These are easily walked around. Occasional stiles and gates restrict access, but often uses bridleways. Lovely section through Kings Wood descending to Wye. Lengthy stretch across flood plain near Stour river is also enjoyable. It’s a route with several potential shortcuts. Well worth doing with good coffee stops near beginning and in Wye. There are lots of good spots to picnic. For those who enjoy some history there are several churches along the route that can easily be included in the route.
