What's on in September Here's our latest updates and a glimpse of what's happening in the Kent Downs AONB over the next month. This month, we're celebrating the Year of the Coast and the King Charles III England Coast Path, and the return of the SALT+EARTH Festival in Folkestone. We're also continuing our work to make the Kent Downs AONB and Cross Channel Geopark a more accessible destination for everyone to enjoy. Read on to discover new experiences, events and places to visit as you head #UpTheKentDowns!     2023, Year of the Coast 2023 is Year of the Coast, a celebration of England’s incredible coastline. It marks the creation of the King Charles III England Coast Path. This new national trail, named in honour of Great Britain’s monarch, will be the longest managed coastal footpath in the world at over 2,700km long (when it’s finished!). To celebrate Year of the Coast 2023, we’ve rounded up our favourite things to do and top places to visit for you to experience our section of the coastal path in our latest blog post!   Read the blog     Accessibility in the Kent Downs   We’re committed to making the Kent Downs landscape accessible to everyone. By focusing on inclusivity and removing obstacles, we’re working to create an environment where anyone can experience the natural wonder of the Downs without facing limitations.     Discover Accessible Downs   A new tramper is now available for use by less mobile visitors at Samphire Hoe Nature Reserve.  To book the tramper, please call ahead of your visit on 01304 225649.   This new tramper is funded 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.      Mystery on the North Downs Way   Last month, a mystery totem pole appeared overnight on the North Downs Way National Trail between Folkestone and Dover.  An appeal to find the artist responsible for the 8ft pole has been unsuccessful so far, leading to speculation about its origin. Kent Wildlife Trust are currently applying for retrospective planning permission as the totem is already proving popular with walkers along the cliff-top path.    Find out more     Events in the Kent Downs There's lots going on in the Downs during September, here's a selection of upcoming events we think you'll love.    From After the Black Gold to Monumenta Romana Walk Snowdown as part of the DAD Festival Sun 3rd September, 10am-2pm SALT+EARTH Festival  Folkestone with Folkestone Fringe and Creative Folkestone Fri 8th-Sun 10th September   Introduction to shieldbugs and leatherbugs Maidstone with Kent Wildlife Trust Tues 12th September, 10am-4pm Charity Walk and Quiz The Red Lion, Badlesmere with Boots on Adventures Sat 16th September, 12pm   See more upcoming events     Head #UpTheKentDowns for new experiences Discover unique experiences with local experts, offering an authentic and immersive insight into the nature and heritage of the Kent Downs.   Natural Pathways Canterbury Immerse yourself in the culture, myth and folklore of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as you become a woodsman for a day.

Look no further! Here's our top spot to visit this September...   Chilham The village of Chilham, between Ashford and Canterbury, is one of the most attractive villages in the Kent Downs.  The historic square and the small lanes leading to it are lined with Tudor and Jacobean houses. The church was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 and is reputed to be the burial place of St Augustine. Look out for the plaque in the White Horse Pub commemorating a story concerning the vicar during the Civil War who backed the Parliamentarians and subsequently had to seek lodgings in the White Horse. From Chilham, you can walk the North Downs Way National Trail to Canterbury or towards Wye through Kings Wood, home to the Coppice Oratory sculpture. The village is easily accessible by public transport, with a train station and bus routes towards Canterbury and Ashford.   Find out more     Share Tweet Forward       Copyright © 2022 Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, All rights reserved.
