Part of local route, NCN 174, this traffic-free cycle path runs along the Sheppy Way, taking cyclists on and off the Isle of Sheppy.

It provides fantastic views of the Sheppy Crossing, a raised expressway for motor vehicles only. Both the Sheppy Way and Sheppy Crossing span the Swale (a tidal strait of the Thames Estuary), linking the Isle of Sheppey with the mainland of Kent.

Swale Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Swale Station is a small, unmanned railway stop located on the Sittingbourne to Sheerness line in Kent, England. Opened in 1922 to serve the nearby Kingsferry Bridge, it primarily caters to local passengers and walkers exploring the surrounding marshlands and the England Coast Path. The station features two short platforms connected by a level crossing and offers a quiet, rural atmosphere with views of the Swale estuary. Though minimal in facilities, Swale Station provides convenient access to the Isle of Sheppey and serves as a tranquil gateway between the mainland and the island’s scenic landscapes.
