This path leads on a former section of Sandwich City Wall leading between New Street and Moat Sole.

On the right, beyond the trees is a moat used by anglers.

The path is also used by the Saxon Shore Way and Stour Valley Walks (long distance paths).
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.

Stour Valley Walk

The Stour Valley Walk is a 58 mile (93km) route through the Low Weald and North Downs, giving you access to some the most attractive parts of East Kent. Rolling grassland, woods, marshes, peat bog, orchards and picturesque villages make this a memorable journey which can be completed over a long weekend or in shorter sections. The symbol of the Stour Valley Walk is the heron.
