Cuxton North Downs Way Lost Landscape Heritage Trail

Image ofnav-external Locate route on a map

Spend a day immersed in the tranquil countryside and fascinating heritage of Cuxton on this delightful walk.

The main route leads walkers through time taking in ancient woodland, historic settlements and the Medway Bridge - the longest of its type in the world when it was first built in 1963.

The landscape and views found along the walk are awesome. Much of the ancient woodland sitting around Cuxton are protected and are home to some of Britain's rarest wild flowers.

Walkers can extend their enjoyment by taking the 'Darnley Diversion'.

This extra section of the route offers the chance to see the Darnley Mausoleum built in 1783, which has a colourful history of its own.

More information about the walk and a map and guide are available in the Lost Landscapes Heritage Trails - Cuxton leaflet.
