Kent has plenty of attractive cycling options with attractive countryside and coastline.
Dubbed the Garden of England it has some of the country's most memorable scenery including the rolling hills and valleys of the North Downs.
One popular trail for cyclists is the Viking Coastal Trail which runs along the Kent coastline passing through Birchington, Margate and Ramsgate.
Also, be sure to explore the coast around Folkestone, Deal and of course Dover with its famous white cliffs while leaving time for a trip to Canterbury to see the beautiful Cathedral.
There are several National Cycle Network signed routes in the county many of which have been mapped and can be viewed and downloaded below.
