The North Downs Way is a long-distance path in southern England. It runs 153 miles from Farnham in Surrey east to Dover in Kent, via Godalming, Guildford, Dorking, Merstham, Otford and Rochester, along the Surrey Hills (AONB) and Kent Downs(AONB).

East of Boughton Lees, the path splits in two on the Pilgrims' Way, the northern section running via Canterbury and the southern via Wye, at this stage the path crosses the Stour Valley Walk and passes the Wye Crown. The two sections of the path reunite at Dover.

The path (east of Boughton Lees, the southern section) runs along the ridge of the North Downs hills, and roughly follows the Pilgrims' Way path used by many pilgrims in the Middle Ages.
