Welcome to the White Cliffs Countryside Project
The White Cliffs Countryside Project was set up to help conserve and enhance the special coast and countryside of Dover and Shepway districts, and make it accessible to all.
The coast and countryside of Dover and Shepway are world class for their wildlife and history. The white cliffs are world famous and for centuries have been the gateway to and from England.
The White Cliffs Countryside Project was established in 1989 to develop sustainable tourism that helps to preserve the environment and local distinctiveness of the area, both for visitors and for local people alike.
There are lots of places to visit and lots to do to enjoy the countryside. You can see wildlife, go walking, enjoy cycling, take part in special activities for children (the Green Gang) or join with local people helping care for the local environment.
This web site provides all the information you need to know to explore the coast and countryside of Dover and Shepway. Happy discovering!
The White Cliffs Countryside Project is a partnership between Dover District Council, Shepway District Council, Kent County Council, Eurotunnel, Natural England, Environment Agency, Kent Downs AONB Unit, Kent Wildlife Trust, National Trust, British Energy, British Nuclear Group, Folkestone & Dover Water Services Ltd, Network Rail with financial contributions from the European Regional Development Fund, the Big Lottery and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
