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/

Rochester is a great town for sightseeing and cafe stops, a must visit on a ride from London to Kent (or back). Castle Hill is one of the highlights, with a great view of the castle and the cathedral.

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.

Maybe obvious to others, but because some of the signage was missing/hidden when we visited didn't realise that the public footpath intersects with the castle grounds which is private and which you must pay in order to use. The grounds are very pretty, but the entry ticket seem very expensive to me. You can still get nice views of the castle and grounds from the public footpath as well.

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

Located in a fantastic spot with excellent views of the Kent Downs AONB, these twin burial structures make for a fascinating pit stop on a hike in the area. The Coty Houses are the remains of megalithic long barrows, revealing just how long humans have been living in the region. Under the management of English Heritage, you can visit the standing stones for free. Kit's Coty House remains standing whilst Little Kit's Coty House has long since fallen and lies as a stone jumble. No one knows where these burial places got their names from, but they are rather charming.
