Hike the End of North Downs Way
The North Downs Way National Trail is a long-distance hiking path in South England, which winds from Farnham to Dover through the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs. While the entire 153-mile trail can take up to two weeks to hike in full, travelers to Dover can enjoy the tail end of the trail from Dover itself. Camping is allowed along North Downs Way for those who want to make a longer trek, and hikers can even hire a company to transport their bags. Be sure to follow the signs as several other trails intersect with North Downs Way. Use the trail's official itinerary planner to find the best route for your journey.

Visit South Foreland Lighthouse
Walk along the cliffs to South Foreland Lighthouse, a Victorian lighthouse on the South Foreland in St. Margaret's Bay. It was built in 1843 but has been out of service since 1988 and now welcomes travelers to learn about the lighthouse's history (and get some serious views of the Channel). Owned by the National Trust, South Foreland Lighthouse is a great addition to an itinerary alongside Pine Gardens or Fan Bay Deep Shelter. It's closed during the winter, so plan your visit during the spring or summer. Visitors should park nearby at the White Cliffs parking lot and walk to the lighthouse.
