Walking and Cycling in Kent

Walking 

Stretch your legs and your imagination walking the world famous White Cliffs of Dover.  Over 80 million years of geology beneath your feet, with rare flora and fauna and ravishing views across the English Channel.

The White Cliffs Country is home to a number of walking routes that suit all abilities - why not try the South Forelands Lighthouse Walk and visit the lighhouse built in 1843 and used for the first radio navigations. Or if it is hertiage you are interested in then the Walmer Castle to Deal Castle Walk is ideal for a gentle stroll, as well as visiting the English Heritage properties.

Also in White Cliffs Country is Samphire Hoe country park, a wildlife haven reclaimed from the sea. Follow secluded footpaths, spot rare flowers and birds, linger over a picnic!
