Introducing our North Downs Way Rail Trails – ten carefully curated routes that begin and end at railway stations along the North Downs Way. Why not discover somewhere new and tick them all off? And best of all, the walks are sustainable – you can go green and reduce your carbon footprint by leaving the car at home.
Discover the North Downs Way Rail Trails
There’s a choice of both circular and linear routes, and ranging from five to eleven miles. As you walk, the maps offers insights into local landmarks, history and wildlife to look out for, as well as detailed instructions to help you find your way.
Look out for Geosites as part of these routes; sites of geological interest across the aspiring UNESCO Cross-Channel Global Geopark, where people can visit and interact with our geological heritage. These unique places represent the incredible variety found in our landscape, based on their geological, educational, or cultural importance.
Conditions on these routes change seasonally; if you experience a problem on any of these routes please report to our colleagues working on our Public Rights of Way team and email us at northdownsway@kentdowns.org.uk to let us know.
