These walks are the result of a variety of commissions and walking events over the last ten years. The Isle of Thanet is a relatively small area with a long coastline, urban development is concentrated in the resorts of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate, and there is a much larger hinterland of rich farmland with a network of footpaths largely underused. The series of Landscape Walks and shorter strolls were written to encourage local walking. These walks are also featured in the annual Thanet Walking Festival which takes place in the first week in May. Other half day walks were written for publication in the local newspaper, the Thanet Gazette... Kent has over 4000 miles of public rights of way; a rich feast of walking opportunities. The main robust rambles are the long distance walks which start in East Kent, currently Dover, Folkestone and Dymchurch, and cross the county to, respectively, Dorking, Farnham and Didcot. These trails are set out as a series of day circular walks...
