Saxon Shore Way and Great Stour
River Stour

The river has four main tributaries, the Great Stour rises in Lenham and East Stour River from Sellindge, meeting at Ashford, when they turn into the Great Stour.

The Great Stour continues through Canterbury to Plucks Gutter where it meets two further tributaries, the River Wantsum and Little Stour to become the River Stour. The river continues across Ash Level through Sandwich and out to Pegwell Bay where it meets the North Sea.

Saxon Shore Way

The Saxon Shore Way starts at Gravesend, Kent and traces the coast as it was in the Roman times as far as Hastings in East Sussex, 163 miles (262 km) in total. The Saxon Shore Way was originally opened in 1980, but has since been re-established, and in parts re-routed and extended. It follows the coastline of the South East as it was about 1500 years ago, long before the North Kent Marshes or the Romney Marsh came into existence. The Way takes its name, The Saxon Shore, from a line of fortifications built along the coastline as it was in the 3rd Century AD.
