Taste, Tales & Trails in East Kent

With all the moans of groans of lack of funding for tourism, we've decided to go into self-publishing. Our first project is to create a small book or, more acurately a short series of trails centred around the Mill for regulars to Crabble and for the discerning green tourist who wants something to do which is just that little bit different, "off the beaten track".

Circular walks along and near the river Dour
Cycle routes up and around the Downs
Half-day adventures further afield

The circular walks will probably vary between 3.5 and 8 miles, each being a different type and in a different direction. We've yet to decide whether the cycle routes will be based on Route 17 of the Kent network "cathedral to coast" but that gives us an excellent start point.

The extended adventures will bring in other explorations of East Kent, be it a variety of other mills to experience; other designated Historic Buildings of Kent and history trails; wildlife sanctuaries and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; stopping-off to sample and taste the food delights of The Garden of England.

Not sure when we will have these available, but we are starting work on them now. As and when each element is complete we'll probably upload it to the website to make it readily accessible for people, as well as having copies at the Mill.

If helping to put this project together stimulates you, then do get in touch. With a couple more people involved it'll get done much quicker!
