A guidebook to walking the North Downs Way National Trail, a 130 mile (208km) walk between the high downland of Farnham & the historic city of Dover on the Kent coast, with an optional visit to Canterbury. The route is described in 11 stages, & is fully illustrated with colour photographs & OS map extracts. The North Downs Way is one of the easier national trails with a modest number of steep (but short) ascents & descents & long sections with no noticeable height gain or loss. Several historic sites including Neolithic burial chambers, Roman roads & Norman churches are passed & much of the route follows The Pilgrims` Way. The area also boasts many literary connections with some of the most celebrated voices in English literature. A separate pocket-sized map booklet is included & shows the full route on 1:25, 000 scale OS maps.
