Walk Geography

The Walk: The North Downs Way starts (or finishes) at Farnham, Surrey. This walk starts from Farnham Station, follows the Trail through varied Surrey countryside to the River Wey gap, and ends in Guildford town centre.

Folkestone to Dover

The walk: Start from Folkestone Harbour. Walk along the front past Folkestone Beach and ascend past the lower Martello Tower. Rather than taking the official coast path along the clifftop, the route descends to the beach, and then follows an adventurous course along the massive sea wall for two miles until it ends, at which point you must descend a ladder onto the foreshore, and walk along Abbot's Cliff and Lydden Spout Beaches to Samphire Hoe. Escape through the tunnel, and join the official coast path over Shakespeare Cliff. Finally, climb through the fortifications of the Western Heights, and descend to Dover station for the train back to the start.

Walk from Hastings to Pett Level

The walk: Start from the East Hill Cliff Railway at Rock-a-Nore at the Eastern end of Hastings seafront. Climb the steps (or take the Cliff Railway) up to East Hill and walk the coastal path through Hastings Country Park to Firehills, then along through Fairlight Cove Village to the village of Pett Level. Get the bus back to Hastings. The walk includes a roller-coaster of three 'glens' (Ecclesbourne, Fairlight and Warren), and options to explore the beach at Covehurst Bay in Fairlight Glen, and Fairlight Beach from Pett Level.
