About

A chalk grassland local nature reserve on the edge of Whitstable, a short walk south of the town centre, with wildflowers and grassland birds. A quieter, less-visited counterpoint to the harbour and beach, good for a slower walk away from the summer crowds.

  • →A good add-on if The Sportsman in Seasalter is also on the day's plan, since it sits between the two.
