Walks in Faversham

Circular Themed Walks, Faversham

Boats at OareDramatic coastline and ancient royal woodland; silent valley trails and walks through orchards and centuries of history following in the footsteps of Peasants, Royalty and Romans. You'll discover all this in and around the historic market town of Faversham.

To help you make the most of your visit, a selection of fascinating and contrasting circular walks of varying lengths have been developed - all linked to local pubs, tea rooms and restaurants, visitor attractions and a wealth of quality accommodation. Some extend an extra special welcome to walkers and cyclists and are accredited with Green Tourism awards (link opens in a new window) in recognition of their exemplary environmental performance. So why not stay in the area for a couple of nights and really get to know this delightful corner of Kent.
