Full Description

Published by GeoConservation Kent.

This guide book is written for the whole family to explain and illustrate some marvellous geology whilst spending a great day out on the beach. Thanet is located on the NE corner of Kent and The Smugglers Trail visits some wonderful sandy bays along what is the longest coastal exposure of Chalk anywhere in the country. The Smugglers Trail is a 4 hour guided walk along the foreshore taking in some very interesting social history, a description of the natural environment and an engaging explanation of the Cretaceous Chalk geology. For those limited by time, there is a 1 ½ hour Highlights Tour to visit and enjoy the key sights.
