White Cliffs Country Trails

45 km / 28 miles

Kent
The White Cliffs Trails were created in 1987 by Dover District Council to link the towns of Dover, Deal and Sandwich, going along the famous 'white cliffs' to the east of Dover to Deal with an inland return through the beautiful Kent countryside. A link from Deal to Northbourne via Sholden and a loop from Sandwich to Northbourne via Eastry provide a range of options.

The routes are marked on OS mapping but have no apparent current publications.
