The Pilgrim’s Way (Sustrans route 17)
This section of the Pilgrim’s Way runs both on and off road from Deitling near Maidstone to Lenham near Leeds Castle. We have chosen to highlight this section as it is relatively flat in comparison to other parts of the route. It is also simply stunningly beautiful in parts. We have partnered with a wonderful and very old pub in Hollinbourne (5 minutes walk from the station) where you can just turn up and hire our bikes using the App. From pub you have the chose to turn right directly onto the route and go off-road, or left and along the undulating lanes towards Thurnham and Detling. Pilgrim’s Way bike hire is made easy with Countrybike.
