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 à 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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 more10 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical information for all budgets - camping, bunkhouses, hostels, B\u0026amp;Bs, pubs and hotels – where to stay, where to eat, what to see, plus detailed street plans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprehensive public transport information - for all access points on the pathFlora and fauna - four-page,  full-colour flower guide, plus an illustrated section on local wildlife\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen hiking - understanding the local environment and minimizing our impact on it\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGPS waypoints with what3words references - these are also downloadable from the Trailblazer website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra mapping - route now fully covered via Folkestone as well as via Canterbury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new 3rd edition has been rewalked, re-researched and redesigned as a two-way guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales on Market Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43491421978830,"sku":"9781912716500","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7727\/4318\/files\/9781912716500.jpg?v=1776350013","url":"https:\/\/top-hatandtales.co.uk\/products\/9781912716500","provider":"Top Hat \u0026 Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
