Overview

A 7.5 mile leisurely paced walk along the North Downs Way from Wye Station to Chilham Square, with a stop at the newly installed Coppice Oratory art installation, with time for a few little folklore stories along the way. This is a beautiful walk through open countryside, where buzzards and kestrels fly freely above and then on through woodland, with one steep hill but no stiles to negotiate. Car parking at Wye station, or within the car park situated close to Wye Church, 5 minutes walk from start point is free, there is also plenty of close by street parking. Trains arrive from Ashford direction at 9.56am or from Canterbury West at 9.51am If planning to leave the car in Chilham, and travel by train to the start point there is plenty of free parking, close to the station or within the village square. Train leaves Chilham at 9.45am
