Description by the author

You can start this route everywhere, but this castle (Richborough Castle) is certainly a good place to start. You can start this route at a train station (Sandwich Road railway station). There is little (no) chance you will be seeing cars along this route. This is a route along paved roads. There are some tough climbs along this route (but trained cyclist will probably be laughing at this). Take in the surroundings. Don't miss out on some great sights. Sandwich is worth a visit. If I had to summarize this route: Great cycling!
