Hythe’s five Slow Ways are 55% checked
Help connect Hythe
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 Hythe’s Slow Ways.

We then followed this all the way to the Leas cliffs at Folkestone, passing Sandgate and the beautifully painted beach huts along the way....

If you're after a walk along the sea, this is ideal, but there's not much else to see, so for more variation in environment, the other route may be more suited. Very exposed, so on a windy day, you may prefer to take the more inland route if you'd rather avoid being buffeted....
Theo Elliott
Super easy, flat all the way (it's is Romney Marsh after all!)....
Tim
Otherwise, from the last canal bridge, take the footpath after the white cottage, up across the field and under the pylons....
Tim
Easy to start/finish at Sandling Station if required, although you would be missing out on the charming seaside town of Hythe. Steep climb out of Saltwood up to Tolsford Hill but well worth it for the views....
Tim
There were a couple of issues: a golf course (almost ruined the walk, fantastic bunkers but terrible path maintenance), although we loved the hills they could be less enjoyable to others....
ShortLegsLongWalk
The walk is generally suitable for walkers, runners, wheelers and is largely on a concrete promenade that runs along side the sea. One of my favourite walks to just stroll and let the time pass by....
Kevin M
It allows you to walk and enjoy plenty of scenery and a good balance between countryside and sea views....
Kevin M
Prevailing wind is west to east so easier walking Hythe to Folkestone than Folkestone to Hythe....
Tim
A shallower incline is possible by continuing along Lower Sandgate Road towards Folkestone Harbour, and then turning left up Road of Remembrance to the upper Leas, and continuing ahead, west, to Castle Hill Avenue....
Andrew
An alternative to this is to follow the parallel road road - A259/Sandgate High Street, then Castle Rd, Radnor Cliff and Lower Sandgate Road....

Slow Ways added Ashfhyth one, a new walk from Ashford (Kent) to Hythe
