Launch of 'Wild Flowers of the Kent Downs' short break: 24-26th June 2008

 
Tourism South East (TSE), supported by Visit Kent, is working with the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts travel arm, Wildlife Travel, to develop a pilot wildlife short break in the region. The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is part of the area used by TSE to test a series of wildlife short breaks showcasing the south east's richness and diversity of flora and fauna. The first break in Kent is scheduled for 24th - 26th June.
 

                      
'Wild Flowers of the Kent Downs' has been designed by Ros Bennet with the Kent Wildlife Trust. This wildlife experience will centre on the wild flowers, and in particular the orchids, of the Kent Downs whose warm south-facing slopes are amongst the richest habitats in Britain. Ros will lead the trip which will involve visits to nature reserves such as Downe Bank, where Darwin developed his theories on the evolution of species by natural selection. Visitors will stay at the Dog and Bear in Lenham.
