This Cantii Cycle Trail is named after the Cantii who were an Iron Age Celtic tribe. The county of Kent and city of Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral derive their names from them. The Cantii cycle route is a circular route of 147 miles / 237km and starts in Wye village. It is a route through the Garden of England and uses parts of North Downs Way. This gives the cyclist various options to shorten / extend the ride. The Cantii Way route is not signposted so maps or a GPX file is recommended.
Most of the Canti trail is largely traffic free on tramac with a few gravel trails. Its a fairly flat route with few hills but beware of wind! Its ideal for touring / hybird / gravel bikes. If doing it on a MTB we would recommend narrower tyres. If you wish to do the route on a e-bike there plenty of cafes, pubs etc on route for charging (check first!).
Ensure you carry spares for any roadside repairs, and check our guide to cycle shops
in Kent for servicing, parts and emergency repairs along the route.
