Explore with the Experts
Join our ambassadors to uncover the rich geological and cultural ties between Kent and France. Our Geopark Ambassadors are passionate about sharing the history and natural wonders of this cross-border landscape. The chalk cliffs that dominate the Kentish coast are more than just picturesque—they tell a story of 70 million years of geological activity, from the Cretaceous period to the present day. And beneath the surface lies an even older history, shaped by the Megaflood that formed the English Channel, dramatically altering the course of human history. Whether you’re interested in geology, history, ecology, or simply love a great story, there’s an experience tailored for you.

- Insightful talks: Delve deeper into the Geopark’s history, biodiversity, and conservation efforts with talks that are both educational and engaging. Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Geopark, from its prehistoric landscapes to the events that formed the Channel. Our Ambassadors bring these stories to life, making even the most complex geological processes engaging and understandable.
- Special events: Throughout the year, our Geopark Ambassadors host and participate in events that celebrate the Geopark’s unique environment. From hands-on workshops to community festivals, these events are a fantastic way to connect with the landscape and the people who love it.
