From £820 per person
From £820 per person
The North Downs Way Run provides stirring running on footpaths and tracks as you follow the downs across the south-east of England.
This is a wonderfully varied and surprisingly tranquil journey, through beech and oak woodlands, across springy downland and beneath sweeping vistas, following much of the ancient Pilgrims Way that linked the cathedrals of Winchester and Canterbury.
While there are some hills en route as the trail weaves up and down the escarpment, the route isn’t too challenging overall.
Threading your way through the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Plunging into Canterbury, where the famous cathedral adds a bit of architectural wonder to your holiday.
Charging across the Kent Downs and reaching at last the coastline at Dover.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
