Kent boasts a number of picturesque villages and
coastlines ideal for adventure cycling trips for
all ages and abilities. Kent is known as the
garden of England and it becomes clear why, once
you start your ride.   Not to be missed locations
in Kent Faversham Faversham is an idyllic
place, which boasts a market town and an
attractive port great for exploring by bike. The
northwest of Faversham offers a vast expanse of
space as you cross Luddenham Marshes, looking
towards the Isle of Sheppy great for cycling.
Historically the marshes were the centre for
gunpowder production but now host to migratory
birds, so dont forget your binoculars. Finish
off your ride with a refreshing drink at the Ship
Inn in Conyer, formally a bakery, then and
blacksmiths until finally being changed back to
the Ship Inn in 1876.

Sandwich The attractive town of sandwich
provides great rides along the pathways and
fields, one of the Cinque Ports, formed in the
Middle Ages for military and trade purposes. The
rides are gentle, with a steady slope uphill if
you are heading towards the coast direction but
perfectly suited to all abilities. Sandwich is
home to the popular Le Tour de Sandwich in June,
a fun orientated event featuring bike fun rides,
car show and more.

Rye   Rye sits near to the Kent south coastline
and surrounded by quaint villages steeped in
history and perfect to explore by bike. One such
area is Lydd, which was once an important base
for smuggling in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
shingle waters around the town were used as an
artillery firing range before World War One and
this practice still continues today.   Continue
your adventure cycling, passing Lydd you will
arrive at Camber Sands, a stony shingle beach at
high tide but gives sandy and far stretching
beaches when the tide is out. Towards the back of
the beach are huge sand dunes, blown up from the
strong onshore winds. Marram grass covers much of
the dunes, and helps to hold the sand in place
and stops the village being buried in sand.
