My husband and I are returning to England in late Oct. We are looking for a new area to see and are aiming for the southeast. After scouring numerous prior threads, Canterbury seems to be a good base for maybe 3 nights as it has a nice mix of history, charm and nearby forested and riverside walks, which is high on our need list - if weather allows.
I'm hoping for any recommendations, insight into some of the walks/hikes in the area. I realize so many areas have similar offerings, so it is tough deciding where to go.
We will be using public transportation and will likely do a day trip to either Maidstone or Dover, weather and interest depending. Our total trip will be about 8 days and includes a few in Wimbledon/Richmond area to see family, and a night in London before we go.
Thank you in advance for info you can share.

We took the bus to Dover and then walked to the castle. After our visit, a staff member near the exit gate called a taxi for us and we went to the white cliff Dover visitor center. We then walked part of the trail and then took a taxi back to the bus station.
