The North Downs Way

The North Downs Way is a 153 Mile National Trail running from Farnham, Surrey to Dover Kent.  There is additionally a  loop via Canterbury

Completed in the following sections over 2003/ 2004. Wye to Canterbury - via Boughton Lees, Canterbury to Dover, Wye to Dover. Farnham to Betchworth, Betchworth to Otford, Otford to Cuxton, Cuxton to Hollingbourne, Hollingbourne to Wye.

I found the trail very well waymarked and the terrain varies with some quite strenuous climbing but mostly undulating.  Not as picturesque as the SDW, but very worthwhile.  Pictures follow:
