    PEACE, SOLITUDE: Syndale A RURAL WAY OF LIFE Valley Walk faversham.org/walking NEWNHAM – EASTLING – STALISFIELD – DODDINGTON Peace, solitude: a rural way of life “Enchant, stay Escape to a land that time forgot, where farming, food and rural traditions remain the cornerstones of community life among the beautiful and graceful, unspoilt and picturesque scenery of the Syndale Valley. but do this, eat well” Running through the mid Kent Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the chalk valley remains one of the few Charles Pierre Monselet timeless landscapes in this busy corner of Kent. Not without its own share of historic highlights and notoriety, your walk begins in the ancient settlement of Newnham, nestled in the Syndale Valley since at least the 12th century. Here the Romans grew grapes and James Pimm was born – creator of one of Britain’s best-loved summer drinks, the eponymous Pimms. The Revd. Granville Wheler proved the existence of electric current in 1725 at Otterden Place – just one of the grand homes that pepper your path as you make your way through ancient woods, working farmland and historic grazing pastures. Many of the woods on your route are still hunted by wildfowlers who sell their game to local butchers and restaurants, while others support the rural craft of coppicing - common in this area. Traditional coppicing of sweet chestnut shoots for fence stakes extends the life of the trees and floods the woodland floor with light in spring and summer, promoting an abundance of flowers and food for wildlife. As you pass back into sweeping open fields you may see kestrels and other birds of prey.

  • Proposal for Swale Area Committee Grants Programme ‘Parish to Town Connections’ Project: Swale East Cycling and Walking Network
    Proposal for Swale Area Committee Grants Programme ‘Parish to Town Connections’ project: Swale East Cycling and Walking Network Background The Swale Borough Council (SBC) Eastern Area Committee passed a motion at its October 2020 meeting supporting the improvement of cycling and walking links between Faversham and neighbouring villages in order to create a ‘cycling and walking network’. The Area Committee will be allocating Special Project Funding at its March meeting and it is proposed to make an application to the committee on behalf of the Town Council to develop a local network. of the committee. Faversham Town Council is being funded by SBC to develop a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) in order to underpin the transport elements of Faversham Neighbourhood Plan, the Transport Strategy of the Swale Local Plan and the development of the current experimental 20mph scheme. This work is being carried out by Phil Jones Associates, who have designed the original 20mph scheme, with some of our project management being provided by Adrian Berendt who has supported us on the 20mph scheme. The LCWIP area is proposed as the existing town council area, plus the designated LP sites to the east of Faversham and the village of Oare. Creating a cycling and walking network beyond Faversham will complement the LCWIP work and it will be important for the two projects to work together in a coordinated way. To help this coordination we would plan to work with PJA in delivering the project and they are preparing a quote for project delivery against the specification below.
