East Kent:

199-miles dedicated cycle routes.

The Viking Coastal Trail, a 27-mile stretch which runs from Reculver to St Nicholas-at-Wade.

National cycle route one starts at Dover, visiting Sandwich, Canterbury, Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Gravesend, arriving in London at Greenwich.

National cycle route two begins in Dover and heads west along the south coast.

National Route 18 runs from Canterbury, via Ashford and Tenterden, to join up with National Route 21 just west of Tunbridge Wells.

Regional Route 16, Dover to Canterbury, a quiet country lane route.

Regional Route 17, Canterbury to Dover. Continental travellers can connect with Le Shuttle Cycle Service close to Newington.

Regional Route 18 – Higham to Upnor on the Heron Trail.

This is an 18-mile circular route on the Hoo peninsula, bounded by two great rivers, the Thames to the North and the Medway to the South.

Planned additions and new routes:

Whitstable

A revised planning application for the Crab and Winkle line extension towards the seafront was submitted in July.

Construction of the Oyster Bay Trail between Whitstable and Reculver has started and the first section in Reculver Country Park is complete.

Dartford

Sustrans and Groundwork have submitted a major funding bid for a new bridge over the River Darent and surfacing of the riverside paths between Dartford, Greenhithe and Northfleet.

Dartford Riverside

Work has started in Central Park on the key connection under Princes Road, where an existing tunnel under the road will be used to link Brookland Lakes and Central Park.

Bexley Council is leading another key part of the Connect2 scheme to provide a bridge over the River Darent close to the existing flood barrier.

This would open up miles of Thames riverside paths on the border between London and Kent.

Dartford to Gravesend

The missing link on the Roman Road at Eastern Quarry has been completed and the alignment of national route one has been changed through Gravesend, via the new Ebbsfleet International Station.

Land negotiations:

These are progressing well in Ashford and include a recent land purchase on the Old Kent and East Sussex Railway line between St Michael's and Tenterden.

Chartham to Canterbury: Landowners have agreed in principle to allow a traffic-free path over their fields alongside the River Stour.

West Kent:

20 miles of cycle routes

National Route 18 (as in East Kent)

Tonbridge Castle to Penshurst Place. An almost entirely traffic-free cycle ride from Tonbridge, alongside the River Medway, out into the countryside as far as Penshurst Place some five miles to the west.
