Event Location - River Dour

The River Dour is a chalk stream which flows from Kearsney to Dover docks. The chalk stream habitat of the Dour is globally rare and the crystal-clear waters support an abundance of wildlife.

The river is easily accessible from Dover town centre and is a ten-minute walk from Dover Priory train station. The four mile signposted ‘River Dour Greenway’ trail follows the river from sea to source as it passes through the town of Dover and ends at the village of Temple Ewell. The river can also be easily accessed while visiting Pencester Gardens in Dover and Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens in Kearsney.

The Kent Downs National Landscape funded Dour to Downs project is now underway, continuing on the work from Our Finest Dour but adding new elements. To find out more please email riverdour@dover.gov.uk
