Sustrans Milepost - Tyler Hill Road - Blean, Kent - Milestones on Waymarking.com

The Milepost was cast from one of four different Millennium Milepost patterns commissioned by Sustrans to celebrate the opening of the National Cycle Network on Midsummers Day 2000. This is Route 1 which is a long distance cycle route connecting Dover and the Shetland Islands mainly via the east coast of England and Scotland.

From here, to the north -
1M Clowes Wood
4½M Whitstable

to the south -
Blean Church ¼M
Canterbury 3M

"The Crab and Winkle Way links the cathedral city of Canterbury with the harbour in Whitstable. From Harbledown the route is mostly traffic-free, following the railway line from the Winding Pond (a great place to picnic) to the outskirts of Whitstable.

On the way you travel through Blean Woods, one of the largest areas of ancient broadleaved woodland in southern Britain, where you can find the rare heath fritillary butterfly.

The route does feature some hills, with a 61m (200ft) climb out of Canterbury and an undulating middle section. You’ll be rewarded with fine views over Whitstable from the highest point of the ride.

The route ends at Whitstable station, but is signed right through to the harbour of this lovely seaside town which is still a commercial port. Enjoy its weatherboard cottages, stroll down Squeeze Gut Alley and sample the local seafood. If you don't feel up to the ride back, you can get the train from Whitstable."
