A 131-mile National Trail, the North Downs Way runs from Farnham in
Surrey to Dover in Kent, partly following the old Pilgrims' Way to the
shrine of St Thomas à Becket at Canterbury. It winds its way through the
protected landscape of the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs, passing
medieval churches, castles, Neolithic burial sites, vineyards and
numerous WWII defences. There are literary associations with Swift,
Cobbett, Dickens and Jane Austen.The guide includes:1. Unique mapping
features - In many walking guides the reader has to read a route
description then try to relate it to the map. Our guides are easier to
use because walking directions, tricky junctions, places to stay and
eat, points of interest and walking times are all written onto the maps
themselves in the places to which they apply. With their uncluttered
clarity, these are not general-purpose maps but fully-edited maps drawn
by walkers for walkers. Downloadable GPS waypoints also included. 2. The
largest scale walking maps available - At just under 1:20,000 (8cm or
31/8 inches to 1 mile) our maps are bigger than even the most detailed
walking maps currently available in the shops. 3. An all-in-one guide -
Trailblazer guides include practical information not usually found in
walking guides to the UK: reviews of places to stay, places to eat,
attractions along the way and detailed public transport information
showing all access points on the path, for weekend and day walkers.
