Faversham Two Creeks walk
This was took place on 16th July 2019 11.15am-3.30pm but you can follow the walk yourself using the information below.
Walk 11a of T100 Welcome to the Kitchen Table
A short walk from the station takes you into Faversham’s historic town centre and its market place. The route passes Shepherd Neame – the country’s oldest brewer – then over the Victorian swing bridge to follow the creekside path past quayside buildings and then through open countryside to the sea wall.
A lunch stop can be made at Hollowshore where there is a pub, the Shipwright’s Arms, and this could also allow time for creative activities to reflect the atmosphere and scenery of the area. The walk then leaves Faversham Creek to follow Oare Creek to reach the village of Oare, and then on to Faversham, passing a windmill, a church and a pond en route.

T100 walks are of different lengths and on different terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven. If this walk doesn’t suit you, there is probably another one that will.
Please note:
You need to choose walks within your capabilities; the walk leaders are experienced but must take your word that you are sufficiently fit for the grade of walk you have chosen.
Due care has been exercised in organising the walks, however Kinetika, the funders and associated partners of the project cannot accept liability for loss, accident or injury caused to any person following the routes. Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
