Hiking: Canterbury via Bekesbourne – Sat 26 Sep 2026
Fancy a proper countryside day in Kent with a brilliant finish in Canterbury? This route takes us through peaceful villages, historic churches, and classic English countryside (Wickhambreaux honestly feels like a movie set). After the hike we’ll finish right in Canterbury and you can stay to enjoy Canterbury’s Cooking, a lively food and drink festival in Dane John Gardens with street food, artisan stalls and great vibes.
