Walk on the White Cliffs of Dover

Event Details

This is a linear walk from Dover to Deal across the white cliffs. We leave from Dover Priory station and start with a short walk through the streets of Dover and passing the bus terminus for anyone using the bus to access the walk. From there we climb up to Langdon Cliffs (stiff climb with some steps) which affords panoramic views of the port of Dover. From there we proceed across the white cliffs to South Foreland lighthouse and St Margaret's Bay. Most of this is across National Trust lands giving great views across the English Channel, the world's busiest international shipping lanes and, if it's a clear day, views of the French coast. Lunch will be on the beach at St Margaret's Bay where there's a kiosk for snacks, hot and cold drinks and ice creams. After lunch a stiff climb back up the cliffs, including a few steep steps, takes us to the Dover Patrol memorial from where we cross more of the white cliffs to Kingsdown, and then follow the flat beach side path past Walmer and Deal Castles to the walks end. On arrival at Deal participants can either return to Canterbury or enjoy the town of Deal before heading back to Dover. We should be in Deal by about 4pm.
