South Foreland Walk
follow us
Most visitors like to begin at Dover at the
White Cliffs Visitor Centre
, taking the breathtaking coastal path to the
South Foreland Lighthouse
at
St Margaret's Bay
. You can make this a circular trip and walk back (or catch the bus!) to
Dover
, or you can continue along the cliffs to Kingsdown.
According to The National Trust, a Viewpoint Walk takes about 20 minutes (although we think you'll be captivated and like to stay longer!).
Walking to the
Lighthouse
(2 miles) takes about 50 minutes. You can take refreshments at
Mrs Knott's Tea Room
at
South Foreland Lighthouse
, and at
White Cliffs Visitor Centre
.
There is a cliff edge route (please take care) and a route a little further away. Whichever route you choose, you can enjoy panoramic views of the English Channel, glimpses of the French coast on a good day, and the beautiful rare plants and insects on the famous
White Cliffs
.
