The Neolithic Trail Kent

Journey deep into Kent’s ancient landscape on a two-day guided adventure along the legendary Neolithic Trail. This immersive walk around the Medway Megaliths brings you face to face with some of Britain’s most mysterious prehistoric sites—places where stories, legends and landscape intertwine.

Across rolling hills, timeless trails, and sweeping views of the Kent Downs National Landscape, you’ll explore ancient routes such as the North Downs Way, Pilgrims Way, and the Medway Valley Walk. Along the way, you’ll stand before remarkable sites including Kits Coty, Little Kits Coty, the White Horse Stone and Coldrum Long Barrow – each carrying its own echo of the past.

As daylight fades, you’ll settle into a peaceful campsite perched on the North Downs Way. Enjoy a hearty home-cooked dinner prepared in Dutch ovens over an open fire, indulge in campfire treats, and watch the sun melt into the horizon. It’s a rare moment of stillness—a chance to experience this ancient landscape as it once was.

This journey blends natural beauty, historic discovery, and meaningful adventure. From panoramic viewpoints to ancient footpaths still alive with stories, the Neolithic Trail offers an experience that stays with you long after the weekend ends.
