Tell us about your favourite places in the Kent Downs

We would love to hear about the places that are special to you Kent Downs. Your stories will help us shape our UNESCO application

If someone came to visit, where is the one place in the Kent Downs you would take them?  It might be the place you go to find the best fossils, or the spot on your favourite dog walk with incredible views of the Downs.

It doesn’t have to be the biggest or best site, it can be somewhere that you personally value that isn’t so well-known. A building in your town or village with a fascinating history, a tranquil dry valley hidden away down a country lane, the disused quarry where you used to hang out as a kid.
