Walking Britian

Find A Walk Near Me by Walking Britain is a truly excellent and free resource. Just enter where you are or where you would like to walk - and print out directions. The walks are graded and you can buy a specific map of the area at the same time. These are proper OS maps and weather proofed if required.

I always think of walking as one of the few activities you can do for free - and now you can with this guide!

The Warren, Folkestone CT19 6NQ, UK – 01303 255093

T We have been coming to The Warren for years. We love the atmosphere and the other campers. The staff have usually been helpful and kind.just one season when they weren't. No signal for my phone but l survive and my phone always changes to French time.! If you are looking for a laid back weekend with excellent shower and laundry block .lovely beach walks and Folkestone shopping and beaches within walking distance then The Warren willl delight you. Well behaved dogs are welcome and usually the children are equally good! No swings or other activities but the beach is a two minute walk away.

Shame we couldn't have stayed longer but due to a booking error by me we had no electric. It looked a lovely site and very busy. Beware of the tight access. Busy single track road down to the beach is also the access to the site and it was very busy even outside of school holidays

Little Switzerland

Wear Bay Rd, Folkestone CT19 6PS, UK – 01303 252168

Love this place on a sunny day. Great views and fresh air. You can camp here too. Staff is friendly and food is nice. We come here for a morning coffee to enjoy the views. Not much parking here. It can get cramped with cars quickly. They take only cash.

We didn't camp or stay here but just visited the cafe for Sunday breakfast. It's set high above Folkestone near the Warren and has amazing views. Facilities look good and it was very busy. The cafe is dog friendly.
