The Kent Downs is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Britain; it is also one of the most under pressure. Covering around a quarter of the County of Kent, it is an arch mosaic of chalk hills, dry valleys, woodlands, ancient trackways, villages, castles and churches. Our role is to conserve and enhance this natural beauty.
