The story of Kent's landscape doesn't stop at the coastline.

The aspiring Cross-Channel UNESCO Global Geopark is built on a shared geological story that stretches beneath the Channel and connects Kent with northern France.

🌍 Find out why this unique partnership crosses borders.

Over the last few years, I have partnered through Level Up London with Kent Downs National Landscape @kentdownsnl @northdownswaynt as part of their Putting Down Routes Project.

The Putting Down Routes Project encourages new audiences from under-represented communities to the North Downs Way National Trail and Kent Downs National Landscape as well as upgrading and enhancing parts of the trail so they are more accessible to a wider range of people.

And Level Up London has been a proud community partner bringing our community of Global Majority Women to the English Countryside - a part of the UK that many of us haven’t always felt like we’ve belonged.

Attending last months event, celebrating everything putting down routes has achieved was a wonderful experience and opportunity to share the experience of Global Majority Women’s experience in nature - including the barriers to inclusion and also the ways in which this project created access, enrichment and belonging.

I wanted to shout out two women in particular, @saskialuqmani who connected us to this partnership and has been such a phenomenal source of support to Level Up London and leader in making green spaces more inclusive and @sarahmoon1972 Project Manager of Putting Down the Routes who is such an incredible ally and really listened and responded to all of our concerns and needs.

Looking forward to next year already! And congratulations to all involved in two years of Putting Down Routes.

Exploring the Warren from above on a dog walk.

There’s still some building works furniture which restricts wheeled access… hopefully won’t be long before @wild_with_wheels can get down there again to see all the work that has been done along the sea wall.

There’s still some over topping from the sea. So beware on spring tides! 😂
