Lovely views across the fields. A largely off-road walk through residential and developing areas, ancient woodland and open undulating farmland, making good use of existing trails. Field paths are sometimes faint or ploughed over and can be muddy and with a section along a main road. The start and finish stations are not on the same line, so it is best to return by local bus or to retrace your steps.

Warnings: Canterbury Road around Herne Common (the A291) is large and busy, with a narrow pavement next to fast traffic. The A299 underpass can flood after heavy rain. Building works near The Fairways may block parts of the route.
