Minnis Bay to Reculver Country Park

If you love the seaside, you’ll love this cliff hugging scenic trail. It’s a linear 3.7 mile walk that follows the Viking Coastal Trail, and mainly uses the concrete surfaced sea-wall. Don’t forget to bring a small fishing net with you, so you can enjoy a spot of crabbing along the way! Immerse yourself in a traditional British sea-side walk, with all the salty trimmings!

The Folkestone Downs

The Folkestone Downs are a great destination to explore the dramatic views of the English channel and surrounding areas. The downs are home to a wide range of wildlife and grazing cattle, so make sure dogs are kept on their leads at all times. This 3.2 mile trail has a steep incline, therefore the right walking boots are a necessity.
