It is then shortened, to give back to you a magical walk with all the best bits of 'Lovely London', voted the best City in the World for the 10th year running! What is given back to you is the most scenic, healthy walk (usually 3-6 miles in length) with some of the walks containing hidden cobbled lanes, lost shops, secret gems, areas lost in time, wonderful views, idyllic Instagram photo shots and all sorts! Now and then some brief local info is mentioned or something of historical importance along the way.

Wye to Sandling/Folkestone

Take a train from Sandling to West Folkestone and walk down to the seafront – a 6km loop – for the well earned fish & chips and a pint of beer! Return back to London from Folkestone Central. **HIGHLIGHT** * One of the finest sections of the South Downs Way * 17km of fine views over chalk hills down to Sandling * Stunning panoramic views over the Wye Crown Memorial * A chalk hill natural formation called the Devils Kneading Trough * A nature reserve which boast 20 different orchid species * Lovely quaint pub for a stop at lunchtime * Walking over 3 long distance paths – North Downs Way, Saxon Shore Way and Pilgrims Way. **DESCRIPTION** The path is part of the North Down Long Distance Paths but it feels like the lofty South Downs.
