Pilgrimage Crusade from Dover

St. Edmunds Chapel

Just off the North Downs Way, close to Pencester Gardens, in the heart of Dover town centre is St.Edmunds Chapel.

Possibly the smallest chapel still in regular use in Britain, this building is a fascinating find. The guides at the Maison Dieu have a key to this ‘miracle church’. It has survived the Dissolution of the monasteries, the Second World War and a recent plan to demolish the church due to a road widening project. It is the only church still in existence which was dedicated to one English saint by another.

The Bell Inn

Travel by Train to Shepherdswell to enjoy your lunch at The Bell Inn. This pleasant country pub is situated on a small peaceful village green directly across from St.Andrew’s Church.

3 Miles of the North Downs Way

Walk a 3 mile section of the North Downs Way and Via Francigena from Shepherdswell following the Explore Kent route notes. Journey through the Kent Downs passing Waldershare House to All Saints Church where you can explore inside while you wait for your bus which will return you to Dover.

Bus Route 89 at Waldershare Park Gates on Sandwich Road.

The Smugglers Inn in St.Margaret’s-at-Cliffe

Venture east for a delicious dinner in St.Margaret’s-at-Cliffe at The Smugglers Inn. Producing high quality traditional British dishes, it is easy to see why this English Pub has recently been presented with a Trip Advisor Travellers Choice Award.

Breakwater Brewery
