KENT VINYL RAIL TRAIL
A record-shop adventure by rail, one Kent station at a time.
Follow the rails across Kent, browse independent record shops and enjoy a coffee along the way. Tap a record-shop marker on the map or choose a stop below. Start at any station and plan as much or as little of the trail as you like.
Map supplied for the Kent Vinyl Rail Trail. Red-and-blue station markers are clickable. On smaller screens, use the stop list underneath for easier navigation.
Choose a stop
Stops are listed A–Z. Every station has its own page, with record shops first and cafés as an optional extra.
Getting around
The original map shows the North Kent Line in red, Ramsgate to Dover in blue, Ashford to Ramsgate via Canterbury West in green, Maidstone East to Ashford in orange and Ashford to Dover in purple. The Crab & Winkle Way between Whitstable and Canterbury is an optional 7.5-mile / 12-km walking route, not a train line.
Check rail services, engineering work and the shops’ latest opening hours before travelling. The coffee stops are suggestions rather than part of the vinyl-shop challenge.
Page in preparation: Rochester and Faversham have their first shop details in place. Further station details and café recommendations will be added after checking.
