Outdoor Activities in the Kent Downs
We're working on creating some new outdoor experiences so you can enjoy an exciting and safe sense of adventure, for now why not get that adrenaline going, escape the crowds and discover some of Kent's hidden gems.
When guidelines allow we'll also be recommending some local guides who can literally point you in the right direction, help with your pacing or even reveal some of Kent's secret history and heritage. So get ready to grab your coat, running shoes or lifejacket, step outside and get ready to experience the wind on your face as you run down woodland hills, cycle across clifftops or paddle towards the sea.
For now please sign-up for our newsletter and follow us on social media as we reveal more news about adventurous experiences you can discover in the beautiful Kent Downs AONB.
