Boots On Adventures

Welcome to our friendly outdoor group of outdoors lovers where we aim to provide more smiles per mile than any other outdoor group!

We look forward to welcoming you!

Our activities include weekday and weekend walks, night hikes, foraging events, campfires, weekends away (both local and through out England), specialist trips and much more...

Our ethos has always been strongly embedded in building community with the aim to be the most friendliest group in Kent (and I am proud to say that I believe we exceed that thanks to our members).

Dogs are welcome on all walking events unless otherwise stated (please check with us on other events) as long as they are friendly, well behaved and will go on a lead if required such as entering fields of livestock.

The group is run by Ian Henderson (Lowland Leader) and his partner Erika Patt.

We are fully insured and first aid trained to give you complete peace of mind. The team extends to Sara Hibbins (Lowland Leader) and Peter White (Hill and Moorland) who joins us for the weekend expeditions.

Please feel to check out "Boots On Adventures" on Facebook or our website www.bootsonadventures.co.uk .

    Dover Clifftop Walk

    Dover Clifftop Walk

    Dover station, Station Approach, off Folkestone Road, Kent, CT17 9SB, Dover, GB

    Book via website

    Join us on Wednesday 29th April for a guided coastal walk exploring the dramatic landscapes and historic defences that surround Dover. Starting from Dover Station, this weekday route quickly climbs away from the busy harbour area and onto higher ground, offering impressive views across the coastline and the English Channel.
    Our walk takes us up onto Coney Hill and past the historic terraces of Parsonage Villas before descending along Plough Hill to join a remarkable stretch of path shared by three national trails: the King Charles III Coast Path, the North Downs Way, and the Saxon Shore Way. From here the route opens out across the famous White Cliffs coastline.
    Along the way we pass above Samphire Hoe with wide views along the shore towards Shakespeare Cliff, while the landscape around us reveals traces of the area’s long defensive history, including World War battlements and the impressive Napoleonic-era fortifications of the Western Heights. From here the route gradually descends back into Dover, returning to the station after a memorable coastal walk.

    Springtime orchards and village greens

    Join us on Saturday 2nd May 2026 for a guided countryside walk exploring the rolling farmland and historic villages that sit just beyond Faversham. Starting from Faversham Train Station car park, we soon leave the town behind as we head out past the well-known Macknade Farm Shop and into a patchwork of fields and traditional Kent orchards, which are particularly beautiful at this time of year.
    Early May brings fresh greenery across the landscape, with hedgerows coming to life and orchards bursting into colour. The route passes through Boughton Court Farm before continuing through the peaceful grounds of St Peter and St Paul Church in Boughton, a quiet rural setting that reflects the long agricultural history of the village.
    We continue across the golf course and into the village of Boughton before following orchard paths that skirt the elegant grounds of Mount Ephraim Gardens. The walk then leads into Herne Hill, where a magnificent old oak tree stands proudly in the village square. Passing through Wey Street Farm and Langdon Court, we eventually arrive in Goodnestone, an area long associated with Kent’s hop-growing heritage, before making our way back across the countryside to Faversham Train Station.

    Early May is one of the finest times to explore the countryside around Faversham, and this ten-mile circular walk offers a wonderful opportunity to experience it at its most vibrant. Led by the experienced Boots on Adventures team, the route combines orchards, farmland, historic villages, and quiet country lanes, creating a rewarding day out through the heart of north Kent.
    Starting from Faversham Train Station car park, the walk heads towards Macknade Farm Shop, a much-loved local landmark that reflects the area’s strong connection to farming and seasonal produce. Within a short distance the surroundings open into wide countryside, where rows of blossoming orchards and bright spring fields create one of the most distinctive landscapes in Kent.
    The route passes through Boughton Court Farm and continues towards the historic grounds of St Peter and St Paul Church in Boughton. Surrounded by open farmland and mature trees, the church provides a peaceful pause along the route and a glimpse into the long rural story of this part of Kent. After crossing the nearby golf course, we reach Boughton village before continuing along quiet orchard paths that pass close to the beautiful Mount Ephraim Gardens estate.
    As the walk continues into Herne Hill, the village square comes into view with its striking old oak tree, a familiar local landmark and a lovely spot to appreciate the relaxed rhythm of village life. From here the path leads across the farmland of Wey Street Farm and Langdon Court, where wide views stretch across gently rolling countryside that feels especially alive during the spring months.
    The final stage brings us into Goodnestone, a village long associated with Kent’s hop-growing tradition. These fields once played an important role in the region’s agricultural economy, and the surrounding countryside still carries that sense of heritage. From here the route gradually returns across open farmland towards Faversham, completing a varied and enjoyable circular walk.
    With the landscape full of fresh colour, birdsong across the hedgerows, and orchards at their seasonal best, this walk captures the character of the Kent countryside in spring. Guided at a relaxed and sociable pace, it’s an ideal way to enjoy a May day outdoors while discovering the quieter paths and historic villages that surround Faversham.
