The North Downs Way is a 131.6-mile (211.6km) National Trail that runs from Farnham in Surrey to Dover in Kent, partly following the old Pilgrims' Way to the shrine of St Thomas à Becket at Canterbury. It winds through the protected landscape of the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs passing medieval churches, castles, Neolithic burial sites, vineyards and numerous WWII defences. There are literary associations with Swift, Cobbett, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. It's not a difficult walk, with few steep ascents or descents. An alternative route runs via Folkestone.
