The A28 near Rolvenden

The A28 is a major road in England. It runs south west from the seaside resort of Margate in Kent via Westgate and Birchington, reaching open countryside at Sarre. The road continues via Upstreet and Hersden to Sturry where it begins its slow crawl into the cathedral city of Canterbury. It forms part of Canterbury's attempt at a ring road before leaving via Thannington and passing between the north downs via Chartham, Chilham, Godmersham and Bilting.
