Walking Holiday in England on The North Downs Way
Farnham to Dover, via Rochester and Canterbury
We
offer itineraries which cover the 134 miles of The North Downs Way from
Farnham to Dover via Rochester and Canterbury. This route has acted as a
highway since before Neolithic times and the footpaths across Surrey and
Kent became a National Trail in 1978.
This
walk connects with the England
Coast Path at Dover, and shadows the Pilgrims Way between Farnham and
Canterbury.
This
is a popular walking tour, so we have carefully selected comfortable accommodation
to ensure you are well rested each night after a busy day hiking and sightseeing.
