The North Downs Way is the National Trail that follows Natural England’ s acorn waymarks from Farnham to the coast at Dover. This picturesque Trail takes in chalk ridges, river valleys and sections of the Pilgrims’ Way. At the eastern end you can either walk via Canterbury (a total distance of 130 miles, 208 km) or follow the southern route (123 miles, 197 km). This is the complete, fully updated, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book.

National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.

‘ Packed with information, showing that the internet has not yet superceded the need for a good guidebook.’
