Rich in Heritage and History the town of Dover traces it’s history back over 3,500 years and offers the opportunity for a number of compact guided walks to discover the River Dour, one of only 210 Chalk Streams in the world, the Distilling, Brewing and Wine Importing history of the town or the line of the Medieval wall that once encircled Dover.

Alternatively, explore the monuments that line the seafront and tell the story of Dover or take a short circular walk to uncover the stories of the people who helped build the history of the town.

There are often opportunities, particularly during summer months, to visit the Victorian Fort Burgoyne, which sits high above the town and offers commanding views across both sea and landscape alike.

Static walks and storytelling sessions may also be arranged.

The Isle of Sheppey - Where the wild coast begins

There is nowhere quite like The Isle of Sheppey and Faversham. Wild marshes stretch to the horizon. Seals haul out on mudflats within sight of the shore. The beaches are long, sweeping and blissfully quiet; the skies enormous.
