Coastal Walk: Folkestone to Dover

​Ready to trade the city hustle for breathtaking coastal views? Join us for an invigorating 8-mile hike along the stunning White Cliffs from Folkestone to Dover! We'll follow the scenic path, taking in dramatic cliffs, charming bays, and historical landmarks. The route offers a mix of terrain, some inclines, and truly spectacular vistas over the English Channel.

​What to Bring:

• ​Sturdy walking shoes/boots (essential for the varied terrain)

• ​Water (plenty!) & snacks (granola bars, fruits) for a mid-hike lunch.

• ​Sunscreen & hat

• ​And if you're feeling brave for a dip in the sea at the end... a swimsuit and a small towel!

​Plan:

• ​We will kick off our walk at 11:30pm from Folkestone, the walk is 2.5hrs long, and we will pause midway for a lunch break.

• ​There is a beach at the end of the hike (Dover) for a swim!

• ​We can buy some food and chill on the beach until heading back to Dover station for the 5:45pm train.

• ​Note: with a super off-peak return, you can take any train back and there is a direct one every hour from Dover.
