Kent boasts a number of picturesque villages and coastlines ideal for adventure cycling
trips for all ages and abilities. Kent is known as the garden of England and it becomes clear
why, once you start your ride.
Not to be missed locations in Kent
Faversham:
Faversham is an idyllic place, which boasts a market town and an attractive port great for
exploring by bike. The northwest of Faversham offers a vast expanse of space as you cross
Luddenham Marshes, looking towards the Isle of Sheppy great for cycling. Historically the
marshes were the centre for gunpowder production but now host to migratory birds, so don’t
forget your binoculars. Finish off your ride with a refreshing drink at the Ship Inn in
Conyer, formally a bakery, then and blacksmiths until finally being changed back to the Ship
Inn in 1876.

Sandwich:
The attractive town of sandwich provides great rides along the pathways and fields, one of
the Cinque Ports, formed in the Middle Ages for military and trade purposes. The rides are
gentle, with a steady slope uphill if you are heading towards the coast direction but perfectly
suited to all abilities. Sandwich is home to the popular Le Tour de Sandwich in June, a fun
orientated event featuring bike fun rides, car show and more.

Rye:
Rye sits near to the Kent south coastline and surrounded by quaint villages steeped in
history and perfect to explore by bike. One such area is Lydd, which was once an important
base for smuggling in the 18th and 19th centuries. The shingle waters around the town were
used as an artillery firing range before World War One and this practice still continues today.
Continue your adventure cycling, passing Lydd you will arrive at Camber Sands, a stony
shingle beach at high tide but gives sandy and far stretching beaches when the tide is out.
Towards the back of the beach are huge sand dunes, blown up from the strong onshore
winds. Marram grass covers much of the dunes, and helps to hold the sand in place and
stops the village being buried in sand.
