Cycling in Kent takes you through fascinating landscapes where England’s history has been altered time and time again. It’s a county of fishing villages, low-lying farmland, expansive beaches and rolling, green downland. As you pedal, you pass centuries-old churches, villages where time stands still and the remains of a Roman past. You can certainly take on thigh-burning climbs to viewpoints but many of the cycle routes in Kent are gentle, enabling you to ride further and explore more.
