A unique way to experience Kent! Small group, guided cycling tours for all abilities, exploring both little-known places and the more iconic Kent sights.
Taking in several stunning bays, seaside sights, countryside, villages and Britain's smallest town, culminating in a tour of the cultural and historical heart of Canterbury. Along the way, there are frequent stops where Col will share stories about the history, culture and landscape, including little-known local secrets! The tour starts at Margate Station, just 1hr20 on the train from London.
Itinerary
