This walk is part of the Cross Channel Geopark Festival, a week-long celebration of the geological and cultural links between Kent and Northern France. The festival shines a spotlight on the unique chalk landscapes, from the White Cliffs of Dover to the French coast, and highlights how geology has shaped local heritage, communities, and biodiversity.
The walk itself offers the chance to experience these landscapes first-hand: from rolling chalk downland and sweeping coastal views to the layered history of Dover’s defences. You’ll journey through sites that reveal both the natural story of the land and the human story of how Dover has stood as a gateway between England and continental Europe for centuries.
By combining exploration of the great outdoors with free entry to Dover Castle, the event brings together nature, history, and culture in one unforgettable day.
