Help connect Hamstreet

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 Hamstreet’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates

The downloadable route for this walk is relatively poor in places and conditions on the ground aren't great. The start of this walk, as far I can tell first-hand and from a range of maps, around the back of Tenterden Church to Eastwell Meadows, does not exist at all. I definitely and highly recommend the stretch from Tenterden to Woodchurch along TenAsh.The Six Bells pub was a nice stopping point and there's the Bonny Cravat pub next door as well. Maintain that direction to the easternmost corner of the field and there's another broken stile. The walk along the edge of Adam's Wood is pretty nice. At Leacon Farm the stile northwards through the hedge is broken and there's a tree down so you have to step down into a ditch. What I would advise here is that you ignore TenHam and instead walk the quiet lane to Warehorne where there's a nice pub, a nice church, and the Saxon Shore Way route to take you into Ham Street with few difficulties - that's a well-used path. You must road walk into Ham Street from here. The traffic is fast and although generally visible and observant it was the icing on a rubbish walk from Woodchurch to Ham Street....

Towards the end of this route there is a huge deviation (which led me to a pumpkin patch) that is no longer necessary as a faster pedestrian route has been constructed....

This is a challenging one to review fairly because when I did the walk there was a closure in Rye (which I- probably against best judgement- climbed over/under) that made the initial phase of the walk challenging....

Otherwise, from the last canal bridge, take the footpath after the white cottage, up across the field and under the pylons....

Walk this route

Starts well from Hamstreet, but nearer Ashford there are many missing footpaths, and in trying to find a valid way through we had to cross the fast bypass without a zebra crossing twice. Have proposed an alternative route....

Walk this route

Lots of this route no longer exists either because the paths are wrong or they’re very poorly or not maintained. It crosses the Trainline and the main road without a formal crossing or bridge. There are much better ways into ashford....

Walk this route

The only reason I've dropped a star is because in a dry summer the Saxon Shore Path from Appledore to Ham Street is superior than the Royal Military Canal, in my opinion....
