Footpaths Walks and Woodlands

Welcome to the Chartham Parish Council micro site for Footpaths, Walks and Woodlands. There are over sixty Public Rights of Way throughout the Parish. Only eight are bridleways or byways permitting horse-riding.
See map board next to Chartham Station, copies of this map are available from Kent County Council.

The North Downs Way Long Distance Path crosses Chartham Hatch from Chilham to Canterbury, sometimes following the route of the Pilgrims Way.

The Stour Valley Walk crosses the parish from the Old Wye Lane to Milton Bridge. A surfaced riverside stretch, suitable for wheel-chairs and push-chairs, has been created starting by the bridge next to the main entrance to the Paper Mill.

Footpath walks are organised monthly and two sets of walk cards have been published and are on sale at local shops, Doctor’s Surgeries and Canterbury Tourist Information Centre, priced at 75p a set of 4 cards.
