The Elham Valley
Way is a long distance footpath from Hythe on the Kent coast to Canterbury.
This 22.5 mile route will give you the opportunity of enjoying a valley
walk through the Kent Downs as well as striking panoramic views from
the chalk hills. The Elham Valley is the setting for the major part
of this walk which will take you through some of the most enchanting
countryside the garden county has to offer. From the seaside bustle
of the south coast to the glories of the gracious city of Canterbury,
the Elham Valley Way meanders through ancient woodlands, secret byways
and charming, unspoilt villages. Much of the walk runs through the Kent
Downs AONB and the Elham Valley is acknowledged to be one of Kent's
most precious natural assets. The Elham Valley has thankfully escaped
the pressures of modern development and a sense of ordinary village
life remains. This area of Kent contains something of interest for everyone
and for an enjoyable walk this appealing area can scarcely be bettered,
no matter what season of the year you step out.
