Spend a day traversing coast and hillside on this gorgeous early-summer Moved hike.
Meeting at Folkestone Central Station at 10:00 am sharp, we’ll head for the harbour, grab a coffee and then hit the coast to begin our stunning, all-day walk. The coastal path passes by Folkestone’s beautiful Lees Park en route to Sandgate and, beyond that, Hythe. From here, we follow a section of the Military Canal to the fringes of the North Downs, where we turn inland and uphill to ancient Lympne, complete with fairytale castle! If we have time, we can pop in for a quick refreshment pitstop with one of the most breathtaking views in the UK (in my opinion!).
We’ll circle back here, following the Downs through Brockhill Country Park, before descending back towards the shoreline for our Folkestone finish.
For those who don’t fancy the whole stretch, there are options to finish at Hythe (5 miles) for buses back to Folkestone town centre.
This is a big old hike, but half of the route is flat and easygoing. The second section is a little more challenging, but not too strenuous.
As it’s a long day, come prepared with lunch, snacks and at least two to three litres of water.
