Bridge Over Thanet Way

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Nicer way to cross the busy road than ploughing across roundabouts. If you squint on the hairpin you can pretend it's Alpe d'Heuz.

Monkton to St Nicholas Road Through the Fields

Great at sun rise in the summer

Hillborough Church and Cemetery

Highlight • Religious Site

Quiet windswept Graveyard surrounds the Church. Built between 1876 and 1878, it is the second such church on its site. The first, consecrated in 1813, was a replacement for a church of St Mary that was founded in 669 .

Reculver Play Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Reculver play park next to Hathats Coffee company. The playpark is accessible and really impressive. Disabled facilities, really good carpark access and the icing on the cake is the Hathats cafe.

A top ten Kent coffee shop. Great place to refuel yourself with their delicious pastries and cakes. They also do paninis and sandwiches. It has seating inside for colder days or infinitive seating outside on the grass.

Oyster Bay Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

This cycle path is okay in the dry on a road bike, but will be a bit slow-going! Much better suited to a stout touring bike or gravel bike.
