Overview

Buy a return to Canterbury West (unless staying over in Canterbury.)

This is a shorter walk to enable people to explore Canterbury if they wish.

This has been set up so if you wish to, you could stay overnight in Canterbury, which you would need to organise yourself.

No booking required, but if you’d like to stay for an evening meal, please message me so I can get an idea of numbers interested.

The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
