The path then climbed steeply up to Samphire Hoe before levelling out to some great walking across the North Downs Way and the first glimpse of Folkestone.

I then continued my walk to the big white house where I followed the drive down to Folkestone Road where I then forked left down Old Dover Road and in to Capel Le Ferne.

I kept on this road until it rejoined Folkestone Road, passing the Battle of Britain Memorial on the left hand side, to the next signpost for the North Downs Way where I took the right hand fork to walk across the top of Creteway Down.

I then crossed over the roundabouts down to Cherry Garden Avenue where I walked up to the traffic lights at Beachborough Road with Folkestone West train station by the bridge on the right hand side.
