This 20km point to point follows the North Downs Way from the village of Wye, climbing through open chalk farmland and the ancient King's Wood before dropping down into the picture perfect medieval village of Chilham, one of the most beautiful villages in Kent. From there the route traces the Great Stour river valley all the way into Canterbury, with the cathedral gradually appearing on the horizon as you close in on the finish. A walk with genuine history underfoot, following the same paths that pilgrims have taken to Canterbury for centuries 🏰⛪🌿🌾
