Tourist advice: Canterbury

Take a train to two of the best walks in Kent.

Some of the best walks to be had in all of England are just a short train ride from Canterbury East Station. Get off at Adisham Station for a walk among agricultural fields, and take in the scenic woodlands, dairy cows and sheep, or the undulating fields wonderously rich with yellow rapeseed before summer harvesting.

Even closer to the City of Canterbury, Bekesbourne Station is close to Howlett's Zoo on one side, and the village of Patrixbourne on the other.
