From £575 per person
Juxtapose picturesque downland scenery, where butterflies flock over long grasses threaded with wildflowers, with the flashing brilliance of the White Cliffs of Dover.
The east section of the North Downs Way via Folkestone follows the crest of the chalk escarpment from the historic city of Rochester, and delivers a seaside finale along the coastline. Views over the valleys and hills of the Devil’s Kneading Trough, Folkestone’s Millennium White Horse, and the English Channel provide a fantastic way to experience Dover in all its glory.

We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
