Overview

Meet and park Kearsney Abbey.

This is a circular walk. From the start point we will cross the Alkham Road into Bushy Ruff and after 700 metres we will again cross the Alkham road, heading towards the remains of St Radigunds Abbey via Gorsehill Wood. From the ruins of the Abbey the walk will go past the Dover Banger Raceway track and through Long Wood onto Whinless Down. Just before Dover Boys Grammar School the route will take us into Buckland then to Gorse Hill and Crabble, where we will follow The Dour to the back gate of Kearsney Abbey, passing Crabble Corn Mill en route.
