Sheerness-on-Sea Walks & Route Maps

This gentle 'there-and-back' Sheerness-on-Sea walk offers a coastal wander with sea breezes.

Beginning in the car park, this walk follows easy ground across grassy paths and waterside tracks to Barton’s Point Coastal Park where gulls wheel overhead and wildflowers brighten the verges.

The park’s mix of saltmarsh, meadow, and freshwater lake gives the route a relaxed, nature-rich feel. Depending on the season, you might spot herons or wading birds moving through the shallows.

This longer Sheerness-on-Sea route also starts from the car park and links the town with some open coastal scenery and a touch of island history.

The route takes you through Barton’s Point Coastal Park where sea air drifts in across the saltmarsh and lakeside paths.

The walk continues past the Queenborough Lines, 19th-century earthworks once built to defend the Royal Navy dockyard. Their grassy banks and waterways now form a range of peaceful habitats for different species.

It’s a pleasant, steady walk that balances nature, heritage, and sea views along the Isle of Sheppey’s historic edge.
