Accommodation and refreshments

The precise location of accommodation and refreshment facilities is not given, but a rough indication has been made to ease advanced planning. Where a bracketed distance, for example (+½ mile), is given in the panel at the beginning of the route description, this shows that accommodation or refreshments can be found half a mile off the NDW. A note in the text suggests the most direct route to take. (Should you intend to stop for refreshment in pubs or cafés along the way, please be considerate to the patrons and either remove your boots before entering, or cover them with plastic bags to avoid leaving a trail of mud behind you.)

Maps

Maps used in this guide are taken from the Ordnance Survey Landranger series at a scale of 1:50,000 (1¼ inches to 1 mile). While they show the route of each stage of the North Downs Way, walkers are recommended to consult the sheets from which they are taken to gain a wider appreciation of the surrounding countryside, and to locate overnight accommodation or important landmarks which may not appear on the limited map samples published here. Six separate Landranger maps cover the length of the NDW, but for greater detail the eight sheets of the Explorer series at 1:25,000 (2½ inches to 1 mile) may be preferred. Details of specific map sheets are listed at the heading to each stage of the walk described and are as follows:
