Battle of Britain linear walk (Dover to Folkestone) 10 miles, Strenuous

A linear walk starting from Dover Priory Train Station ending at Folkestone Central Train Station with a detour to Folkestone Harbour Arm at the end for food and drinks (highly recommended). If you do not intend to go to the Harbour Arm please let me know at the beginning of the walk.

We will predominantly be walking along the England Coast Path, however for anyone interested in History, particularly WWII history we will be able to stop and admire some of the old defence placements as well as a stop at the Battle of Britain Memorial (cafe and toilets) on the top of Capel-le-Ferne, with a couple of older forts to see near the beginning.

This is a hilly walk and is exposed, so please bring suitable clothing. It can be very hot, very wet and very windy (hopefully not on the same day!) on occasion. The route is 10 miles and we will have plenty of time to look at the historical sites along the way.

NB: There is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers Assoc. members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.Ramblers members are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend - just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website
