Description

In 2007 John Wilks updated his bestselling Walks Through History: Kent book. When JMD Media were asked to make this book available as an e-book, we decided to give the customer a choice. You can buy the whole book with all 24 walks for full price, or just buy an individual walk as a taster or because there is one walk which is of particular interest. Each individual walk includes the original map showing all of the walks available as well as the introduction and the authors advice for walkers.


WALK 24

Dover: White Cliffs and two World Wars

Distance: 8.5 miles

Map:OS sheet 179

Start and Parking:The walk starts from St Margaret's at Cliffe (grid ref: 359446). St Margaret's at Cliffe is four miles north of Dover and six miles south of Deal, at the end of a minor road signposted off the A258 Dover/Deal road. There is a free car park in the middle of the village.

Refreshments:Public houses, shops and a cafe at St Margaret's at Cliffe, cafe at the Dover Patrol monument.

Walks Through History: Kent is a celebration of the beauty and poetry of the county. Each walk in this book has been chosen not only because it is a pleasant walk in its own right, but also because it goes past sites which reveal the rich and varied history of the county. 

Each walk is arranged chronologically, and has a major historical theme. Together they take the walker through 4,000 years of Kentish history. The introduction shows how each of the walks fits into the overall history of the county, a history that is very much shaped by Kent’s proximity to Europe. For through migration, trade and invasion, Kent has had close contact with the continent throughout its history. 
As with all walking books detailed directions are given, including parking convenient stopping or resting places, and suggested diversions or alternatives. 

The book is sure to appeal to locals and tourist alike.
