Accessible Nature Walk Above The White Cliffs of Dover

Note: Booking is Essential to avoid disappointment as places are limited! Pre-walk instructions will be sent by Wild with Wheels (info@wildwithwheels.com).

Join us for a cliff top stroll above the infamous White cliffs of Dover. The newly installed accessible path, and wheelchair accessible gates have opened up a section of Kent’s award-winning (Worldwide Lonely Planet 2022) Heritage Coastal walk.

Overlook the Port of Dover to see the ferries and cruise terminal, along with far-reaching views across the Channel, where on a good day we can see France, its white cliffs and Calais.

We explore this part of Kent Downs AONB, the chalk grassland that forms the Cross Channel GeoPark.

And we also get a fabulous view of Dover Castle when returning to the visitor centre, which serves refreshments and the National Trust shop to browse.
