The Saxon Shore Way traces the coast as it was in Roman times and follows the line of the Roman fortifications.
The Faversham area section of the Saxon Shore Way extends from
Conyer Creek in the west, alongside
The Swale, passing through
Harty Ferry, the village of
Oare, through Faversham and on to north of
Graveney in the east.
Along the way, you will pass the
Oare Marshes and
South Swale Nature Reserves.
The
Swale Heritage Trail is a shorter footpath of some 11 miles from Murston, west of Sittingbourne, to Goodnestone, near
Graveney.
A guidebook to the Saxon Shore Way is available from all good bookshops, Faversham TIC or Kent County Council's online shop.
