Walkways and cycle paths

Over three-kilometre of safe, new cycleways and footpaths have been created on St Mary’s Island, connected to a network serving the rest of Chatham. A boardwalk and mile-long riverside walk gives pedestrians and cyclists an attractive route between St Mary's Island and the Historic Dockyard with views of the opposite riverbank and sites such as the Elizabethan Upnor Castle. These were previously closed to the public for 400 years.
