Cheriton Hill
Cheriton Hill is a HuMP, 188m high, in the Kent Downs National Landscape. The HuMPs are hills in Britain and Ireland with at least 100 metres of prominence, whatever their height.
Folkestone West is the nearest station, 2.2 mi (about 3 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Folkestone West it's about 1 to 1.5 hours to the summit, 1 in 24 on average. Folkestone Central is next, 2.6 mi (about 3.5 mi on foot), and 11 stations are within 10 miles in all. The North Downs Way National Trail passes 0.8 mi away.
Cheriton Hill is a hill overlooking the English Channel near Folkestone in the south-east corner of Kent, England. The relatively low-lying hill is covered with farmland, villages, narrow lanes, and footpaths. The highest point is on a covered reservoir next to the trig point; the highest natural point is nearby, probably close to the road to the village of Paddlesworth, near a transmitter mast, but the relatively flat summit gives no real impression of being on top of a hill.
