Description

This circular route goes through some very pleasant East Kent countryside and visits the sites of former collieries of Betteshanger, Tilmanstone and Snowdown. The route is not way marked as many of the others in this region, but does cross cross on a number of other routes, passing through some small villages with some access to food and water.
