This is one of the finest coastal walks in England, taking you right along the top of the famous White Cliffs of
Dover. On a clear day you will enjoy stunning views of the English Channel and the French coast from Boulogne
to Dunkerque. There are two significant climbs - one out of Dover and the other out of St Margaret's Bay:
otherwise the terrain is gently undulating. The last quarter of the walk is totally flat, along a tranquil coastal path
behind the pebble beach of Deal. This section of the walk is full of historical and natural interest passing Walmer
and Deal castles. Plenty of pubs and coffee shops at the end of the walk plus of course the beach!
Lunch:- Bring a picnic and extra drinks
