A long distance path in southern England. It runs from Farnham to Dover, past Godalming, Guildford, Dorking, Merstham, Otford and Rochester, along the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Kent Downs AONB. East of Boughton Lees, the path splits in two, the northern section running via Canterbury and the southern via Wye. The two sections of the path reunite at Dover. The northern route is 211 km long, and the southern route 201 km, the total length of the North Downs Way being 246 km.
The pathway is mixed in that it varies throughout its length from footpath status to bridleway, byway and road. Some 19% of the Way follows roads, though 75% of those are minor lanes. It is marked by an acorn. See TQ6561 : Crossover in Long Distance pathways.

This is a section of land below the East Cliffs of Folkestone. It has various paths leading through it towards the coastline and beach, or up to the cliffs towards Old Dover Road. It is now a [Site of Special Scientific Interest] ( SSSI ), due to its interesting position and geology. The Grayling butterfly has a small colony in the site. The land has been created after several landslips of the chalk ground, since the last 200 years. After 1915, the Dover to Folkestone. Railway line (running through the site) was defended from coastal erosion. This also had the intentional effect of stopping any more landslips to the land beyond the line. In 1924, the land was gifted to the council of Folkestone and the country park was formed soon after.

The King Charles III England Coast Path (ECP) will take advantage of new public rights of access to the coast, to form a 2,800 mile long public path right around England's coasts.

Parts of the path were already open in 2016, and it was intended at that time that the whole path would be completed by 2020. At that time, the path was called the England Coast Path. It was renamed King Charles III England Coast Path in 2023, in honour of the King's coronation.
