Starting from the ABode Canterbury in the city centre, this walk heads south toward the River Stour, joining the riverside path and following it west past medieval streets and green spaces toward Westgate Gardens.

The route then continues along the river into quieter stretches toward Hambrook Marshes, offering a peaceful, nature-filled section. Looping around the marsh paths, you’ll head back east on the opposite side of the river, retracing part of the Stour Valley walk with fresh perspectives, before returning to the historic centre near Canterbury Cathedral and finishing at the hotel. This gentle, scenic circular walk of around 6 km combines riverside paths, parkland, and some of Canterbury’s most iconic landmarks.

To ensure a smooth pace and the best experience for all participants, we kindly ask that our hikes remain pet-free and child-free. This helps us keep the group moving comfortably and ensures everyone can fully enjoy the adventure. Thank you for your understanding.
