Folkestone to Ramsgate

Kent's coast is one of the most varied and historic in the UK, so this 37 mile stretch is a great addition to the England Coast Path. It kicks off in artsy Folkestone (worth a browse around the creative corner especially). The rest of the route combines sweeping beaches, Martello towers and castles, gentrified Deal, with its interesting historic quarter, ancient Sandwich, and the iconic White Cliffs of Dover (views right over to France on a clear day). Those wanting to stretch their legs further could start their walk at Camber, just over the border in East Sussex and walk the whole 66 miles now open between there and Ramsgate. Plus an extension from Ramsgate to Whitstable is coming soon.
