GUIDE

SITTINGBOURNE & KEMSLEY LIGHT RAILWAY

While largely recognised today for its industrial revival that has seen the town present itself anew with a contemporary flair and an ever-evolving community business scene, perhaps one of Sittingbourne’ s most well-loved attributes is its passionate restoration of its unique railway heritage- with two wonderfully curated steam railway experiences proudly calling this corner of the county home.

Whether you choose to embark on a scenic Sittingbourne adventure by rail, or set off on foot to explore the abundance of surrounding countryside and villages- now boasting particularly picturesque landscapes with the prettiest of autumn shades- revel in a setting steeped in both history and newness, and one that always offers up the warmest of welcomes.

“ We love Sittingbourne for its friendly people and strong sense of community. It’ s a place where neighbours know each other, and there’ s always a warm, welcoming feel. We enjoy the lovely parks and peaceful countryside walks, spotting sheep, cows and horses along the way. The surrounding villages like Borden, Bapchild, Bredgar and Tunstall, each have their own unique charm and character.”
