Read on to discover new experiences, events and places to visit as you head #UpTheKentDowns!       55 Years of the Kent Downs AONB Happy Birthday to us! The Kent Downs AONB has been captivating visitors and locals alike with its unparalleled beauty and abundant heritage since its establishment on 23rd July, 1968. To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the designation of the AONB, we’ve curated a collection of our favourite 55 places to visit, our Top Downs! The list showcases the very best the region has to offer. From charming villages steeped in history to panoramic viewpoints that will leave you in awe, we think there is something here for everyone to enjoy! So, grab your walking boots, pack your camera, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure #UpTheKentDowns.   Discover our Top Downs     Wild choughs return to Kent   After a 200-year absence, red-billed choughs have been reintroduced in Kent, as part of a ground-breaking conservation project. This week, the Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust released 10 captive-bred choughs in to the wild at a secret location in the Kent Downs AONB near Dover. These iconic birds were driven to extinction in Kent through historical persecution and land-use change resulting in habitat loss. The release has been made possible by years of work restoring the chalk grassland habitats where they feed.   Find out more   The Reintroducing choughs to Kent project is supported by the Kent Downs AONB through the DEFRA-funded Farming in Protected Landscapes programme, which helps fund projects in the farmed landscape under the themes of climate, nature, people and place.      Events in the Kent Downs There's lots going on in the Downs during August, here's a selection of upcoming events we think you'll love.    Geo-adventures (for all ages!)

The Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery Newsletter Hi    We’re keeping it short and sweet this month as we’ll be emailing you on Tuesday with news of Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023. But there were a couple of things we couldn’t wait to tell you about! We’re nearly ready to welcome you back to the distillery after our July closure, Open Day is just around the corner, and we got a great surprise earlier in the week when we were named in a Top 10 list by Spirits Business.   So pour the last dram of Yorkshire Day 2022 (to make space on the shelf for next week), and settle down to scroll through this month’s newsletter.   In good spirit, The Distillery Team **THIS WEEKEND** Open Day 2023 Saturday 29th July 12pm - 6.30pm Join us on Saturday (29th July) as we throw open the distillery gates for our annual Open Day.   There will be distillery tours every 30 minutes, talks and discussions on the main stage, ticketed ‘sit down’ masterclasses, live music, and local producers showcasing how great this area is at making incredible food and drink.   Embers from Scarborough will be serving wood-fired pizza and their incredible roast potatoes, the Wold Top beer van will be on-site and naturally, you’ll be the first to try Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023.   Tickets are £15 in advance or £20 on the door on the day. Masterclasses must be booked separately. Find out more and book your spot! Distilling Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023   News about Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023 will be in your inbox on Tuesday 1st August (Yorkshire Day itself!)   If you can’t wait until then, come and see us on Saturday at the Open Day… Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch #3 & Filey Bay Moscatel Finish Batch #4 Not one but two new Filey Bay Whiskies are now ready since our last newsletter.   Filey Bay Peated Finish Batch #3 continues the subtly smoky profile of the award-winning Batch #2, using ex-Peated casks from the west coast of Scotland to finish our light and fruity single malt.   Filey Bay Moscatel Finish Batch #4 is the next iteration of our sweet and fruity ex-Moscatel finished whisky. Our Sales Manager Morgan is already a huge fan, calling it his favourite Moscatel Finish so far… we think this calls for a blind tasting!   >> Find out more and try for yourself >> Growing Rain rain…   …Go away! We’d very much appreciate your help with some sun dances please. The winter barley is nearly ready to harvest and there’s a few weeks left for the spring barley but a bit of sunshine after a fortnight of rain would be great.   We’re delighted to say that we saw a female Marsh Harrier over the wildflower meadow earlier in the month. We didn’t manage to get a good picture but it was enormous. Welcome Back!   After a month of TLC the Distillery is looking incredible and we’re extremely excited to re-open our doors on Tuesday 1st August. Come and see and taste what we’ve been up to!   Opening Times Monday to Saturday:  9.30am - 4pm Sunday: 10am - 3pm   We’ve been working with the fantastic Yorkshire Chef, Stephanie Moon, to revamp the Pot Still Coffee Shop menu. All your old favourites are still there but with some delicious new dishes now, including a great wine list too.   Breakfasts served 9.30am - 11.45am (10am - 11.45am Sundays) Lunches served 12pm - 3pm (12pm - 2pm Sundays) Homemade cakes & treats,and hot drinks available all day     Can’t wait until Tuesday? We’ll be open for the Open Day on the 29th July of course but just doing cakes in the Coffee Shop. Enjoying Further afield   Away from the distillery, the team have been working hard at shows around the county, pouring a lot of Filey Bay. From Harrogate to Driffield to Skipton, it’s been great meeting people from all across Yorkshire and seeing their eyes light up as they try Filey Bay often for the first time.   We met DEFRA Minister Mark Spencer, got interviewed by ITV, held 12 masterclasses, poured over 1000 samples, said Field to Bottle approximately 72560 times, ‘misplaced’ one pair of wellies (but found them again) and lost four voices across the three shows. Living We’re interrupting our usual service for this section to shout about something brilliant that happened earlier this week…   We were named by The Spirits Business and The Cask Connoisseur as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Whisky Distilleries in the UK and Ireland. Using data compiled from reviews, ratings and rankings across Google, Tripadvisor and other social platforms, they ranked distilleries from across the UK and Ireland, and we came 7th! (Read the full article here).   It's a real honour and reflects how brilliant and passionate the team here are. And how much we love whisky (and homemade cake).   Worthy of a name check for everyone because it's a total team effort, so here goes: Claire, Naomi, Chrissie, Amy C, Libby, James W, Lisa, Courtney, Tiff, Diane, Justyna, Millie, Amanda, Kate, Paddy, Eliza, Lauren, Sarah, Phil, Tracey, Izzy, Dom, Morgan, James C, Amy T, Joe, Jenni and of course our co-founders David and Tom.   And a huge huge thank you to you too, everyone who comes to the distillery. From the locals who come in for coffee every day or every week, to those who fancied doing something a bit different on their seaside holiday, to those who travel miles especially for a tour.   You all know we’re not a massive distillery run by a huge company. There aren’t many of us and we work incredibly hard to both make great whisky and make the distillery an enjoyable and welcoming place to come. When you leave reviews it really does make a difference. On that happy note, that’s everything for this month. We’ll be back in touch on Tuesday about Filey Bay Yorkshire Day 2023, or we’ll hopefully be seeing you on Saturday. Copyright (C) 2023 Spirit Of Yorkshire. All rights reserved.
