New Year's Guided walk

We also have a special guided walk leaving the visitor centre at 11am, you can join our knowledgeable guides for an interesting and informative two mile stroll to the lighthouse.

Embrace the season and enjoy a walk across the frost-kissed world of the cliffs.

As you experience the crispness of leaves underfoot or the crystalline crunch of fresh frost, discover the White Cliffs of Dover in their wintery beauty. A walk towards South Foreland Lighthouse will offer a crisp breeze, a quiet serenity and stunning views of this winter wonderland.

And on the greyest of days, when the sea and the sky seem to melt into one you can escape the wind and the rain in the Visitor Centre, enjoying a bowl of handmade soup, freshly baked cakes or simply a mug of hot chocolate to warm the cockles.

Venturing out into the frosty world of winter? Our shop has you covered. Avoid rosy cheeks and reddened ears by wrapping up warm with our collection of woolly hats, scarves and comfy jumpers, or for a sweeter treat try some of our traditional marmalade or jam, all made in small batches to clasic recipies.
