Chartham to Wye route
The proposed route (green/white dashed)
Copyright: CC by SA: OpenCycleMap
Route
It branches off from the existing NCR 18 at Chartham and broadly follows the Great Stour river valley to a point just south of Godmersham where it rejoins the NCR 18.
Length: about 8 km.
Rationale
It continues the Canterbury to Chartham riverside route (due for completion in 2010), offering a more direct and less hilly route than the existing section of NCR 18.
