Queenborough to Faversham

An unavoidably long route through grazing marsh, freshwater pools, saltwater creeks, orchards and urban green spaces and quiet country lanes. Mostly flat; some sections can be soggy and waterlogged but doable with high boots. Passes through the Swale RAMSAR site with important bird populations; a high density of fruit orchards makes it good for spring blossom; lots of pitstop and public-transport options; you may see the Kingsferry Bridge spans lift.
