A long route but lots of highlights and one of the best routes I've walked for orchard blossom, although sadly I was about a month too early for that. Just a little way north of the village (off route) there were large flocks of high-tide roosting birds in saltmarsh close to the path, very good views especially if you stay behind the sea wall to not disturb them much. I haven't actually walked the road section on Sheppey or between Milton Creek Country Park and Conyer Creek (except using Google Street View) although I've crossed it and walked adjacent section of the Sheerness-Queenborough-Sittingbourne-Faversham group of routes which often overlap....

The views of the Swale from Kingsferry Bridge was my high point, tide timing meant nice views of salt and fresh water marsh, mudflats and water and a good chance to see wading birds fairly close. Between Queenborough and the Kingsferry Bridge I was actually trying to walk SitQue 1 but couldn't as it was just too waterlogged!...

This route wasn't walkable in late March 2023 because it was too wet to cross Neatscourt Marshes - the fields between Rushenden and the Kingsferry Bridge. The alternative is a mostly pavemented (and probably quite boring and noisy) road walking route via Queenborough Rd then Sheppey Way. I checked that wet and unpassable bit of the route from the Swale end, and found the public footpath had been fenced across where the GPS said the path was, maybe the other reviewer climbed over the blocked up but climbable gate to the west, or followed the access track to the east. Just after Kingsferry Bridge I didn't bother scrambling down the steep bank to follow the line of the route but just followed the road to the roundabout. The route follows the official public footpath but that is very blocked by a deep band of scrub and in front of that is an ankle-unfriendly area crowded with big anthills and rabbit holes and a healthy coverage of thick vegetation....

Near the end of the walk I crossed the road bridge onto Sheppey and went down onto the marsh across what seems to be a grassy field but is in fact very wet under foot. There are also steps up where the field path meets Old Ferry Road at Swale. These include Lower Rainham Road and Horsham Lane between the Orchard View estate and Upchurch....

Also the path along The Fleet and a small group of navelwort plants in the otherwise boring long alley section....

We headed for a gate into the field in which the small bridge crosses the water....
