St Radigund's Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded 12th century on the land of Bradsole Manor. There is no access to the inside of the ruins, although you can freely approach the outside.

Tip by

7.21 km

View of Alkham Village and Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

From footpath off Hogbrook hill lane

Tip by

8.58 km

Steep Hill in Kent Downs

Highlight • Climb

This is a brutal ascent, topping out at about 23% but is mercifully short so you don’t have the constant and long grinding increase in gradient on other climbs such as York’s Hill.

Tip by

15.1 km

Kearsney Abbey & Russell Gardens

Highlight • River

Wide public wooded park, part of the old Abbey grounds. Across the main road is Russell Gardens fronting Kearsney Abbey. The Abbey itself is private land. Cafe and children's play area and restful stretches of riverside.
