The
Saxon Shore Way, Coastal Walks In Kent
Do some research in advance and
select a part of the Kent coastline that particularly interest you.
Although planning might kill the spontaneity of the experience there are
places on the path miles from the nearest public transport so you need to
think about where you're going to start from and finish.
If you're not an experienced
walker don't try anything too ambitious and wear appropriate footwear.
Cliff tops and marshes can be dangerous places so make you sure you have
all the necessary information about which paths to follow.
The Saxon Shore Way starts at Gravesend and
traces the coast as it was in Roman times as far as Hastings, 163 miles in
total. The line of the Roman fortification that the route traces includes
ancient forts, modern towns, nature reserves and some beautiful coastline.
If you have an interest in
wildlife you'll find the North East Kent coast a great place to walk. At
Seasalter there is an internationally important area for geese ducks and
waders. The most picturesque part of the walk is arguable the cliff top
stretch between Deal and Dover with a mid way break in St Margaret's at
Cliffe.
