Some nice historic buildings and heritage, but the level of traffic, means you constantly have to be alert.

Nice path, pretty well paved with a little bit of grit and soil, lots of walkers and dogs in the morning / evening.

The Adisham Water Tower, located in the parish of Adisham, Kent, is a Grade II listed building dating from 1903. Built in an Edwardian Italianate Revival style, the tower is rectangular in shape and constructed of red brick and terracotta. It has an iron water tank on top, with decorative features including banded pilasters, open arcades with round arches and a deep cornice with decorative iron railings. The tower was originally built for the Margate Corporation District Waterworks and is a striking example of functional architecture combined with aesthetic detailing.

Good quality road surface through Bourne Park, with views of Bourne Park house. Relatively flat with a small dip towards the Bridge end.

Amazing views from the towers of the the ruined abbey, the remains of a Roman fort also lie nearby and some of the fabric is used in the construction of the abbey. Wonderful place to stop and very atmospheric, though cold in December!
