Date: 18th August
A fascinating ride through Roman history and Kent's coal mining past with stunning views across the channel before striking inland through the valleys and woods of East Kent.
Starting from Activ Cycles in Folkestone, you'll quickly find yourself in White Cliffs country, heading across the cliff tops to Dover. Look right, and with luck, you might glimpse Calais!
Join the old Roman road heading north towards Betteshanger, Tilmanstone, and Shepherdswell, once coal mining centres of the now-defunct Kent Coalfield.
Leave the industrial past behind and journey across the quiet countryside on a labyrinth of bridleways that crisscross the Downs, heading towards the famous Roman Stone Street.
Follow the beach path back into Folkestone, perhaps taking a quick dip to cool off before finishing at the Folkestone Activ Cycles store.
