Landranger map number 179 shows the far south-east coast, including the cathedral city of Canterbury, the ports of Folkestone and Dover, as well as Margate, Hythe, Whitstable, and Herne Bay. The North Downs are a ridge of chalk hills stretching across the area. They make for generally easy and very pretty walking and cycling routes; the North Downs Way is one of the most popular. The ancient walled city of Canterbury is the home of the famous Canterbury Cathedral and Dover's scenic chalk white cliffs attracts tourists from across the globe. You may also wish to visit the traditional seaside holiday town of Margate with main attractions such as sandy beaches, a world-class art gallery and retro shops. |
