England - North Downs Attractions

 
Southeast England

Counties: Surrey and Kent

The North Downs are a ridge of high ground running parallel to the coast, which extends southwards from the Thames Basin across the counties of Surrey and Kent, from Guildford in the west to the fantastic white chalk cliffs of Dover in the east. The word "downs" in this sense has nothing to do with height, but is linked to the word "dunes". The North Downs are composed of chalk and slope steeply to the north. With the South Downs, they belong to the Weald system, a geological morphological anticline made of chalk and sandstone.
