- One of the highlights of a visit to the region is the famous ‘Crab and Winkle’ bike path that stretches from Canterbury to the coast. We recommend that you take a look at Kent Cycle Hire or call 07791114529. You can pick up your bike directly from the garden at the House of Agnes and you can even go one-way only if you are not very keen on riding all the way back!
- Many visitors to Canterbury would also like to know more about this area of Kent. ‘Tours of the Realm‘ offer chauffeured sightseeing tours of rural and historic Britain for individual travellers or small exclusive groups of up to 3 people.
