Welcome to the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership

The White Cliffs Countryside Partnership 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 Partnership 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!

WE ARE NOW A PARTNERSHIP

You may have noticed that the WCCP is now the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership rather than the White Cliffs Countryside Project.  The WCCP is celebrated its 20th anniversary this winter and we have decided to change our name to reflect the long standing success of the project. 

The WCCP was launched in December 1989 with 3 staff funded by seven organisations for a limited three year period.  The WCCP has grown into a much larger organsiation with thirteen staff (although many work part-time).   

In 2009/10, we are being funded by more than thiry organisations.  We carry out long management of land and high value for wildlife and landscape, making it accessible to everyone. Indeed many of the sites managed by WCCP are on a national or even international importance for wildlife.

It was decided to change the name to "partnership" to reflect the fact that a large number of organisations are working together to improve the local environment.

The White Cliffs Countryside Partnership 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, Veolia Water Southeast Ltd, Network Rail with financial contributions from the European Regional Development Fund, the Big Lottery and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
