The journey takes you along the ridge of the North Downs, with spectacular views across the Weald. It also follows the sheltered slopes of the ancient track-way and passes some of the earliest areas of settlement in England and visits sites such as the Neolithic megalith Kits Coty. You will pass through the picturesque hamlet of Harbledown, mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and follow in the footsteps of Henry II as he made his walk into Canterbury as penance for the death of Beckett. The route passes through the Iron-Age hill fort at Bigbury where Cæser fought the Belgæ in 54 BC.

This is a six day, five night walk packed with history on each day of the walk. Whether you take a self-led tour or a guided tour, your Walk Awhile Tracker will help you get the most out of your walk.
