Rejoining the North Downs Way at Boughton Lees on 27/01/2026, I set off towards Canterbury enjoying the quiet peace of Kings Wood, the artistic rest point of the Coppice Oratory and wide views across the Stour Valley from Godmersham Park.

After pausing my journey due to darkness, I return to the trail near Chartham Hatch on 09/02/2026, arriving at the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, another memorable highlight on this enjoyable pilgrimage route.
