Walking Accommodation in Canterbury & the Kent Countryside

Planning a weekend in Kent where getting outdoors is part of the trip?

Firebow Holidays provides self-catering accommodation for friends, couples and families planning walking weekends, active breaks and countryside getaways around Canterbury.

Kent Downs Cottage sleeps up to eight guests across four bedrooms, giving groups a countryside base in Petham with Canterbury around 10 to 15 minutes away.

Spend the day exploring the countryside and walking routes around the area, then come back to a house where everyone can cook, eat, relax and spend the evening together.

Accommodation Near Walking Trails Around Canterbury

The countryside surrounding Canterbury gives walkers plenty of opportunities to get outside, from shorter local routes to longer days exploring the Kent Downs National Landscape.

The North Downs Way passes through the wider Canterbury area, while the Kent Downs offers woodland, rolling countryside, villages and walking routes for groups who want to make being outdoors a bigger part of the weekend.

Staying in Petham gives you a countryside setting with Canterbury still within easy reach, so you can spend the day walking before heading into the city for dinner or exploring somewhere different the next day.

Active Family Breaks & Nature Weekends With Friends

For active families, the Canterbury countryside gives you plenty of ways to spend more of the weekend outdoors.

Plan a countryside walk, explore the Kent Downs or make a day of discovering the villages and landscapes surrounding Canterbury. Back at Kent Downs Cottage, the games room gives families something else to do once you're finished exploring for the day.

For friendship groups in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, a countryside weekend can be just as simple. Head out for a walk, stop somewhere for lunch or a drink, then come back to the cottage for dinner and a proper catch-up.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a games room, patio, BBQ and fire pit, Kent Downs Cottage gives families and groups of friends a shared base for a few days outdoors without needing every hour of the weekend planned.
