Slow Ways linking Barham and Ashford (Kent), Canterbury, Chartham, Dover, Hawkinge, Lyminge, Northbourne, Sandwich

Help connect Barham
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Barham’s Slow Ways.

We walked this route in autumn and found a lot of dead animals for some reason. Aside that the route was perfect and easy to walk....

I have walked this route twice, it works really smoothly, by the second time of walking we didn't need to refer to the map....
ShortLegsLongWalk
Pleasant walk, lots to see along the way such as Bourne Park House and Charlton Park. Quite hilly in places, and many kissing gates, some kept in better condition than others. One near Bourne Park has tangled exposed roots, which may be challenging to those in wheelchairs....
Laure
It’s generally easy to navigate, although there are some points where you lose the path through open pasture land or in wooded sections. Planning the route in advance and taking a map will certainly help. It’s very, very easy to lose the path....
