A walk from Farnham to Dover via the coastal town of Folkestone and the White Cliffs of Dover.
From £1165 per person
Transform the finale of the North Downs Way into a spectacular coastal walk along the White Cliffs of Dover. Shorter than the Canterbury alternative, the route via Folkestone departs the North Downs Way National Trail at Boughton Lees.
With some steep climbs to high-level footpaths, this route excels at far-reaching views over the English Channel and the landscape of Wye Crown, not to mention Folkestone’s Millennium White Horse. It’s a fantastic way to capture some of the North Downs’ most memorable scenery, and to experience the dramatic cliffs that make Dover so famous.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour.

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.
