Cycle Routes
The Sandwich Way Route 15
At the Dover end, the route starts near the superstores and
Dover Transport Museum - 01304 204612. Just down the hill is
Crabble Corn Mill in River , a 200 year old working watermill.
Route 15 goes safely under the A2 to Whitfield -
try the Royal Oak - 01304 820364. There it joins Route
16, a way up from the Docks via the Market Square, Turn
left at the top of the hill past
Dover Castle and follow the signs past The Chance Inn at Guston
- 01304 206162
Meanwhile route 15 follows an imaginative route
through beautiful rolling countryside, partly following the now
quiet former main road, and partly on an appealing purpose-built
track. It is an area of bridleways for off-roaders, ancient
churches, hedgerows and yew trees, and villages with 'hall house'
buildings dating from medieval times, with timber framework.
Halfway to Sandwich there's a sheltered picnic spot, or stop at
one of the country pubs - the High and Dry bar, restaurant and
garden - 01304 820005; the Plough and Harrow in Tilmanstone, an
attractive public house and garden and the venue for Velo Club (VC)
Deal to meet for time trials in the summer - 01304 617532.
Just off the route are old churches in Betteshanger and
Tilmanstone - ancient yew tree in churchyard c.2000 years old.
In Eastry, there's the Five Bells - 01304 611188 - and a fish
bar.
Be careful crossing the A256, then at the end of Felderland lane
there are seasonal Pick-your-own (PYO) fields of fruit trees and
bushes; then on to Sandwich or a pleasant detour to Worth.
