Publisher's Synopsis
The North Downs Way is the National Trail that follows the Countryside Agency's acorn waymarks from Farnham to the coast at Dover. You can walk along this trail following chalk ridges, river valleys and sections of the Pilgrims' Way. At the eastern end you can either walk via Canterbury (130 miles, 208km) or follow the southern route via Folkestone (123 miles, 197km). This is the complete, official guide for the long distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book. It contains: - the entire route split into convenient sections - 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest - circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area - route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features - background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry and land use - details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and sources of further information on accommodation - the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside
