In February we posted an update about the shared-use riverside cycling and walking path at the edge of Kingsbrook Park in Canterbury. We’re pleased to see that the public has now gained access to part of this route in the last few days.
The full extent of the path through to Barton Mill isn’t available yet, since building work is still taking place adjacent to it at the Barton Mill end of the Kingsbrook Park housing development. However access is available both to the old site of the coach park (which housed the temporary Marlowe Theatre) via a new cycle and pedestrian bridge. Pedestrian access to Barton Mill can be achieved by using the roads in Kingsbrook Park to access the riverside footpath on the northern side of the development and walking eastward along this.
We look forward to when the full length of the southern shared-use path will be available in the coming months.
A map showing the new path’s location can be seen here:

The cycle path is shown as a dotted blue line.
