The Cathedral City of Canterbury is a perfect centre for walking. Two
train stations and an excellent bus service provide access to the local
countryside.
Two long distance paths go through the city, the North Downs Way and
the Stour Valley Walk and the Saxon Shore Way passes along the
Whitstable Oyster Coast.
Canterbury Area offers a diverse variety of walking, including
downland, marsh, woodland and coast.
Sunday is our main walking day on which we try to offer 2 walks of
varying lengths, full day circular walks, averaging 10 miles or half day
walks of around 5 to 6 miles. At least once a month there are mid-week
walks and evening walks in the summer.
We have regular social events such as wine and wisdom evenings,
croquet and talks by members sharing their experiences of walking in far
off places such as Nepal. We are regular contributors to local festivals
such as the annual Canterbury Festival and Whitstable's Oyster Festival,
walk in France with Les Randonneurs du Plat Pays and enjoy UK and European
holidays with interesting walks and sightseeing
