Saxon Shore Hike, Faversham to Whitstable, Kent Creek to Coast.
About the event
Join us for a social Autumn walk from Creek to Coast in beautiful Kent. We start our walk from Faversham, Kent's oldest Market Town, initially winding through the historic market town and past traditional boatyards along the creek. Our route will follow a mix of the Saxon Shore Way and the King Charles III England Coast Path as we walk along wide-open marshlands featuring expansive skies, local birdlife, and distant estuarial views. After passing through the quiet coastal village of Seasalter, home to local sea-skiff clubs and the Michelin Stared gastropub The Sportsman, we follow the pebble shores to the colourful beach huts of Whitstable. A charming and historic seaside town, famous for its native oysters and relaxed coastal atmosphere, here you can join the group for food or drink at a local pub or explore the town and beaches or catch a train directly back to London.
