Working in collaboration with Kent County Council, we aim to increase sustainable tourism along the North Downs Way, by promoting rail to trail routes from and to Charing, Lenham, Harrietsham and Hollingbourne stations. All four stations along the Kent Downs Line are in easy walking distance of the trail and so provide ideal locations for installing interpretation boards and promoting walks between these stations, offering a choice of distances to suit a wider audience.

Many people who have attended our taster walks to promote the rail to trail routes have since undertaken several independent days out by train with friends and family, to explore the rail to trail routes between stations evidencing our aim has been achieved.

We are grateful for our ever growing partnerships with Explore Kent, the North Downs Way National Trail and Kent Downs National Landscape for contributing to the design of the boards, promoting our work and for part funding the taster walks.
