Margate to Reculver,

[honwal]

In the next few weeks me and the wife will be going to do Margate to Reculver said to be a coastal route,

We will be cycling into Ashford International then train to Margate to do the route,

has anyone done the route if so advice would be appreciated, looking for time factor, and would we have to cycle back to Margate or is there a train station at reculver or near by,
Thanks

Promenades can be busy this time of year.

Nearest station to Reculver is Herne Bay or retrace your steps to Birchington-on-Sea. Alternatively you could continue further along the coastal route to Whitstable (another station) and follow the Crab and Winkle (NCN1) into Canterbury.

Thanks for this info much appreciated, now you mentioned Whitstable that will be our first target, will try and get the missus to go further and do the crab and winkle line, then get train back from Canterbury,

Great idea but alas I think wifey would object to be tortured in such a way.
