North Downs Way, National Trail in southern England
The North Downs Way extends for 153 miles from Farnham to Dover, crossing through chalk grasslands, woodlands, and agricultural landscapes of Surrey and Kent.
The trail incorporates sections of the ancient Pilgrims' Way, which medieval travelers used while journeying between Winchester Cathedral and Canterbury Cathedral.
Eight castles, three cathedrals, and three archbishops' palaces line the route, presenting examples of English medieval architecture and religious heritage.
The path splits at Boughton Lees into two routes: a northern section through Canterbury measuring 131 miles and a southern section via Wye spanning 125 miles.
The trail traverses two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Surrey Hills and Kent Downs, offering views across the High Weald and multiple river valleys.
