From £610 per person
From £610 per person
One of the first parts of the England Coast Path to be officially opened in 2016, the Kent Coast Path wanders from Camber to Ramsgate. Several paved stages can be challenging to untried feet, but the area is full of rewards, packed with history and places of interest.
The two major features on this section of the England Coast Path are the remote flatlands and the iconic White Cliffs, offering a variety of terrain, from paved paths to wild expanses and rugged climbs. This stretch of coastline has endured its fair share of warfare and invasions over the centuries, the evidence of which can be explored in the form of various Roman forts and villas, amazing castles from several historical periods, and the iconic Battle of Britain Memorial, to name just a few.
Although there are plenty of hard surfaces to cross, the Kent Coast Path is an integral bridge in the England Coast Path, with an excellent historical focus.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
