Anyone who wants to walk the "Pilgrim's Way" with Canterbury Cathedral as their destination, not just as a long-distance hiking trail for pleasure (whether on foot or the faster option by bike), but also consciously follow the medieval tradition as a pilgrim, may find some inspiration on this website =>> https://www.pilgrimways.org.uk/the-pilgrims-way-winchester-southwark-to-canterbury

A detailed description of the history of the two Stone Age sites, which are now known under the – historically inexplicable – names “Kit's Coty House” and “Little Kit's Coty House”, is available for the culture-loving hiker on the following official website: => https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/kits-coty-house-and-little-kits-coty-house/history/

Following the Black Death, the village was abandoned, and the church stood empty for centuries. In 1990 Doug Chapman, a chartered surveyor who had worked at Canterbury Cathedral, purchased the church and began restoring the building, originally with the intention of turning it into a weekend home. Since 1999 it has been licensed as a civil wedding venue.

You can visit Kit's Coty House only by foot or by bicycle. The stones stand on a hill in a field surrounded by a fence. Only 1 km away you find another megalitc site - Little Kit's Coty House https://www.komoot.de/highlight/5174880

Very easy to miss this lovely spot, just off to the left as you're nearing the top of the climb.

Ightham Mote is a medieval moted manor house owned and managed by the National Trust. It was built almost 700 years ago and houses a collection of interesting objects and art. The property has gardens and a wider estate which you can visit if you wish. It's paid entry unless you are a NT member. There's also a cafe and shop on site which makes it a great place to either start a run or stop at halfway. If you're running here, the most obvious loop starts at Ightham Mote, Knole or Sevenoaks station and follows the Greensand Way. There are lots of other options within the 580-acre (235 ha) estate to explore if you fancy staying local.

It's just idyllic and the cafe is not bad either

Great Highlight, All to Easy to pass this by without a second glance. Checkit out, makes a decent place to take 5 :)
