The Royal Saxon Way links sixteen historic parish churches and other ancient ecclesiastical sites. At either end are the church of Folkestone and the Abbey of Minster-in-Thanet, unusually preserving relics of their original Anglo-Saxon royal saints. The route crosses the North Downs via Lyminge in the Elham Valley, site of another Anglo-Saxon shrine.
