North Downs Way Trailblazer Walking Guide 3e

John Curtin, Henry Stedman John Curtin, Henry Stedman

All the information you need to walk the North Downs Way.

Trailblazer's guide to North Downs Way shows the route in both directions from Farnham to Dover and from Dover to Farnham.

?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 a 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.

This handy, pocket size North Downs Way guide includes:

12 town plans and 90 large-scale walking maps - at just under 1:20,000 (or 3 1/8 inches to 1 mile), showing route times, places to stay, points of interest and much more 10 stage maps/itineraries for all walkers - whether walking the route in its entirety over seven to eight days or sampling the highlights on day walks and short breaks

Practical information for all budgets - camping, bunkhouses, hostels, B&Bs, pubs and hotels - where to stay, where to eat, what to see, plus detailed street plans

Comprehensive public transport information - for all access points on the path Flora and fauna - four-page, full-colour flower guide, plus an illustrated section on local wildlife

Green hiking - understanding the local environment and minimizing our impact on it

GPS waypoints with what3words references - these are also downloadable from the Trailblazer website.

Extra mapping - route now fully covered via Folkestone as well as via Canterbury

This new 3rd edition has been rewalked, re-researched and redesigned as a two-way guide.
