The North Downs Way – Section 11: Etchinghill to Dover

The North Downs Way – Section 11: Etchinghill to Dover

I fell in love. Seriously, the whole of the North Downs Way is nice, but this last section to Dover is simply SPECTACULAR! If you live in London, or anywhere in the South East then it is so easy to get to this amazing walk. You HAVE to jump on a train and try it. We actually walked it several weeks ago on a perfect sunny Sunday in May. But since then I have been crazily busy getting ready to…

The North Downs Way – Section 8: Detling to Lenham

We decided to finish our Easter holidays with an uber-walk! Most of the routes I have blogged about are between 18-25km. However this time, Marc and I decided to take on two walks at once and cover around 40km in one day. We only decided this on the train on the way to Bearsted! I’ll split the walk into two posts, in case some of you plan to follow the official sections of the route. The first half of our…
