The Countryside Code 2021 – What You Need To Know
Many of us have been given the opportunity to enjoy and explore the great British outdoors. With most of us having a newfound love for the outdoors, but this also means the countryside has been pushed to its limits.
Pub and Cafe Walks in Kent
It is nearly official British Summertime, so that means one thing.... spending the foreseeable future outside enjoying the weather, nature and wildlife, walks and of course the pub gardens! We want to share with you some of our personal favourites walks to enjoy this summer which have some lovely pubs, restaurants or cafes along the way or to reward yourself at the end of a tiring walk!

Gardening for Everyone!
As we move into the warmer and brighter months, some of us may find ourselves enjoying our gardens and outdoor spaces more! Whether you would like to encourage more spring wildlife into your garden or feel like you need an escape from the stress of everyday life, gardening is the answer.
Explore Kent’s Coast
From the sand dunes of Camber to the White Cliffs of Dover, the England Coast Path is a delight to walk, whether it’s the full length or a smaller section of it.
