Kent Cycle Map

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

Kent Cycle Map

This area map shows the National Cycle Network and local routes in this area. It covers the Kent area of the South East region of England, including Ramsgate, Margate, Hastings, Dover, Canterbury and Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Kent is known as the Garden of England, and fruit orchards abound and old hop oast houses dot the landscape. There is a great coastline with plenty of seaside towns, cliff views, wonderful wildlife , lots of historic sites including the Cathedral city of Canterbury, beautiful marsh landscapes and the North Downs national park.

This pocket-sized colour map shows clearly mapped on-road and traffic-free paths, easy to read contours, and detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities as well as recommended linking routes connecting the NCN with quiet roads. The map also features 5 day rides with directions and a description of the area, highlighting key cycle routes, local history and places of interest.

Please see our interactive map key for UK coverage of our pocket cycle map series.
