Exercise locally during the lockdown and stay safe

Exercising and meeting other people - You should minimise time spent outside your home.

It is against the law to meet socially with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.

You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure (e.g. a picnic or a social meeting).

This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.

Chart Gunpowder Mills

This attraction is closed until further notice. Check website and social media for updates.

Close to the town centre, there were once four water-powered incorporating mills here. The surviving mill is the oldest of its kind in the world. The Home Works, of which it formed part, laid the foundations for Britain's greatness. The factory made powder for Nelson at Trafalgar and Wellington at Waterloo. In peacetime its product blasted routes for the nation's railways and canals, making the Industrial Revolution possible.

Restored in the 1960's and managed by the Faversham Society. Free entry to Chart Gunpowder Mills-donations welcome.
