Faversham is a place I love to visit - especially on one of the three market days, which are Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Together we will explore the amazing history of this Cinque Port, which was originally settled by the Romans. Faversham is a real gem on a small creek, which travels through the beautiful Kent marshes before entering the River Swale and then the Thames Estuary. Known as the 'Market Town of Kings' the town became an important seaport , later establishing itself as a centre for the brewing industry and the explosives industry. Faversham boasts the oldest market in Kent and some lovely old inns. Kings and Queens have visited, escaped and been buried in Faversham - let's have a walk and discover their stories. The following itinerary can be customized to suit your needs. Do not hesitate to message me.
