This was a 5 mile, part circular and part linear, White Cliffs of Dover walk in Kent starting from St Margaret’s Bay.

From the car park in Bay Hill by The Coastguard pub we walked back up the hill walking left in to Beach Road to follow the signpost for the Saxon Shore Way.

We then walked up the steps by the next sign post for the Saxon Shore Way through the kissing gate.

We continued our walk along the wide chalky path to the National Trust area of Lighthouse Down.

We then walked left at the gates to the National Trust South Foreland Lighthouse, continuing to follow the sign posts for the Saxon Shore Way.

The next section of the walk is linear so you could walk as far as you’d like to but Tedi and decided that we’d walk up to the main viewpoint down across the port of Dover.

There is an abundance of birds on this stretch of the White Cliffs of Dover, loads of sea birds, small coastal birds and even two kestrels.
