It couldn’t be easier to explore the Kent Downs by train with Southeastern. Plus, rail travel is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel and helps conserve the landscape too.
The Kent Downs is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), in recognition of and to protect its exceptional landscape, distinctive character and natural beauty. It is the eighth largest AONB and, along with the High Weald AONB, covers 33% of Kent’s land area.
Over 30 Southeastern stations are located on or near the North Downs Way in the Kent Downs National Landscape, making it one of the most accessible landscapes. Stretching from the white cliffs of Dover to the picturesque Kentish town of Otford, there’s so much to discover. With highspeed services out of London, the Downs is easily accessed from the capital too.
