ACCESS
|
|
| |
The KSCP regards providing access to the countryside as a very important
part of its role. |
|
| |
Wherever possible, the countryside should be accessible to
all, whatever their ability. The KSCP has been involved in projects to promote
easy access for all visitors.

It is also important that access should be via sustainable
transport - the KSCP promotes walking, cycling and public transport as a means to
getting out into rural areas.
The Project has published a series of booklets called Train
Rides to Ramble and a series of leaflets called Bike Trails by Rail
to encourage people to use the railway to make walking and cycling
trips in the countryside.

A number of recreational walking paths pass through the
project area: the North Downs Way, the Stour Valley Walk, the Elham Valley Way,
the Greensand Way and the Saxon Shore Way. The Project promotes the use of
these, and has co-produced guide books for the Stour Valley Walk and Elham
Valley Way.

Cycle paths in the Project Area include the Crab and Winkle
Way, which the KSCP has taken a major role in developing.

There are many wildlife sites in the Project Area with access
for the public. Some have disabled access and many have waymarked trails to
follow. Details of these sites and how to get to them by public transport are
given in our Sites Guide.

The Project encourages landowners to allow open access to
their land through the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
