North Downs Way - Wye to Canterbury (section 10)
Advertisement
Our tenth leg of the North Downs Way Adventure begins in the picturesque village of Wye. A village, although small holds lots of history. From there we rejoin the North Downs Way. From there we journey through Kings Wood, once a royal hunting ground and still home to a large herd of fallow deer. From there we walk through the beautiful village square at Chilham, not to mention through some of Bleans ancient woodland which holds secrets of Bigbury Camp, an old Iron age fort, a possible site for Julius Ceasars first battle as he led his forces in the Roman Invasion of Britian. We finish this section of our adventure in the historic walled city of Canterbury. At Canterbury West Station with views of the medieval Westgate Towers
