Ramsgate to Whitstable Opens: 1, 000 Miles of King Charles II I’s England Coast Path

A significant milestone for the entire nation, not just Kent, is the opening of a new section of the King Charles III England Coast Path.

A National Trail that will eventually extend 2700 miles around the entire English coast includes the new 25-mile continuous walking route in north-east Kent. With this new section, the number of miles of coast path that have been made available so far exceeds 1,000.

This simple walking route takes you along some of Kent’s most stunning coastline. Numerous beaches have won the Blue Flag Award, and the clifftop views are breathtaking. Ramsgate to Camber and Whitstable to Iwade are two of the open stretches of coast path that connect to it at either end.

Natural England Deputy Director Jim Seymour stated:

It’s really exciting that the 1, 018-mile path is completed along this stunning coastline, which includes chalk cliffs, wintering birds, and well-known seaside towns.

It’s amazing that so much of the King Charles III England Coast Path is accessible to people at a time when the advantages of connecting with nature are more obvious than ever.

By allowing walkers to pass the numerous neighborhood businesses along this route to shop, get refreshments, and stay, this stretch should also boost the local economy in north-east Kent.
