Event Location - South Foreland Valley

Adjoining the White Cliffs of Dover is the South Foreland Valley which is part of the Dover to Kingsdown Site of Special Scientific Interest. The woodland and cattle-grazed chalk grassland are home to an abundance of wildlife with many notable birds found here.

Walks across the site provide views of the English Channel and the French coast and lead to nearby South Foreland Lighthouse, managed by The National Trust. We manage South Foreland Valley on behalf of St Margaret’s at Cliffe Parish Council.
