The Putting Down Routes team and project partner Wild With Wheels are delighted to invite you to join them at Great Farthingloe Farm for a free sensory-focused, accessible, nature experience on the award-winning Kent Heritage Coast along Shakespeare's favourite White Cliffs of Dover.
You'll be exploring the farm paths, and the North Downs Way National Trail and taking time to admire the coastal scenery, chalk grasslands and wildflower areas. On a clear day views across the English Channel to France may be possible.
Join them and get close to nature with their experienced Support Walkers who can offer assistance if needed.
The event is set to last for 2 hours. Pace is set by the abilities of the group on the day (usually slow but with lots of interactions with nature and the landscape.
The routes at Farthingloe are decided on the day, depending on the needs of the participants. But walks will begin and end at the same location.
ALL of the walks are wheel friendly. (Buggies, Rollators, Wheelchairs, Power Chairs, Mobility scooters, Trikes etc). If there are any tricky spots then the support walkers will assist to navigate over, around any obstacles.
