Overview

This strenuous walk will follow a small section of the 80 mile King Ethelbert's Ring circular trail around East Kent, a part of the Canterbury Rings Walking routes. It is a linear walk over some of the finest scenery in Kent via the Crundale Downs and Hastingleigh. We finish at Sandling Station and return by rail.
