Dog friendly walks in Kent

Situated less than an hour from London, Kent boasts 350-miles of expansive shoreline sprinkled with beautiful sandy and shingle beaches and Dover’s towering White Cliffs. Stunning castles, chalk downland and haunting marshes await avid walkers, and the landscape is ideal for wagging tails to explore. Take a stroll around Sandwich with its half-timbered houses and historic churches, offering a quiet English charm, or experience the largest ancient broadleaved wood in the south, Blean's enchanting, ancient woodlands, that contain native trees such as birch, oak, hornbeam and hazel and is popular with dog walkers.
