Back to summaryMake a reservation

Day One - Arrive Canterbury

Arrive in Canterbury and check into your hotel in the heart of the city. There's so much to explore in this astounding heritage city with its magnificent cathedral, and many museums. We will deliver your cycling equipment to your hotel and your host will meet you to run through your itinerary and to familiarize you with the route.

Day Two - Canterbury to Faversham

17 miles (27km) or more

This is a fascinating ride that sets out along the old Crab and Winkle railway line to Whitstable. Enjoy the harbour there, sample its famous oysters and  dip into the craft shops of its high street. Then follow some of the old Saxon shore with its often remote atmosphere and rich maritime history. Stay overnight in the outstanding market town of Faversham and its creek lined with barges. The town is elegantly Georgian and your overnight stay there is in an old inn.

Day Three - Faversham to Canterbury

14 miles (22km)

Head inland through pretty villages and valleys dotted with orchards and classic views. There's a fine garden to visit and cosy pubs to discover. And perhaps there's just a little more to explore in Canterbury before you return your bikes to the hotel.
