Near Canterbury, Kent – 7/10

Another stile that will upset the purists due to the controversial materials used. However, though it may not be particularly pleasing on the eye, what it lacks in its respect for tradition in the case of the materials it uses, it makes up for in its actual functionality in that it does respect the tradition of the sadly much unappreciated and underused cross-step design. The two steps are at a good angle and height, and a sufficient size so to accommodate all foot sizes, while the bars are also at a good height making for a rather hassle-free navigation for walkers of all leg sizes. The material used also produces a stile that is solid and firm, so though it may court controversy in some ways, its functionality cannot be denied.
