Tyler Hill, West Blean and Broad Oak Walk
Details
We’re inviting you to explore some of the most beautiful spots around Canterbury on Sunday, 29th June. Starting at Canterbury, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through places you might not have seen before, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
First up, we’ll wander through Tyler Hill, a hidden gem with some incredible views over the surrounding countryside. Then, we’ll head into the West Blean Nature Reserve, where you’ll get to experience a peaceful woodland setting, filled with wildlife and quiet paths.
