England - Hiking UK - Folkestone to Dover walk

Type: Interesting

Description:
Coastal Walk along the cliffs to Dover, with options also taking in The Warren.

- Main walk: 14.8km (9.2 miles)
- Toughness: 5 out of 10

This is a highly scenic coastal walk with fine sea views throughout. It introduces you to some of the quainter sides of Folkestone, a town which like many south coast seaside towns is undergoing something of a renaissance. You then climb up past a Martello Towers (Napoleonic-era fortification) and out into the Warren, an interesting area of wild coastland and former landslips, where you walk along concrete sea defences and then climb on a steep, but not vertiginous, path up to the top of the cliff.
