Chalk Flora & Bumblebees on the coast at Foreness Point, Margate

Discover buzzing bumblebee populations, native plants, and other wildlife on a guided walk at Foreness Point, Cliftonville, Margate, Kent.


Join a relaxed walk led by local wildlife experts around the beautiful chalk grassland of Foreness Point. Learn about the designated ‘local wildlife site’ and its management while exploring the area's bumblebees and wildflowers.

This guided nature walk is perfect for connecting with the local open space and learning about the area. It's best suited for those aged 14 and up, and will last for 2.5 hours. We'll be walking along medium-difficulty terrain, mostly on grassland paths. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather on the day (rain gear if it's wet, sunscreen or a hat if it's sunny!) as well as sturdy shoes!

This walk will be led by bumblebee expert Simon Springate (Bumblebee Conservation Trust), with Phoebe Cullingworth (Tree & Biodiversity Coordinator, TDC) & Tony Child (Thanet Coast Project).

Online bookings only - as numbers will be limited - with a suggested donation of £5 to £10pp.


PLEASE NOTE:

  1. You need to 'SELECT A WALK DATE' first
  2. Each booking is for ONE PERSON ONLY
  3. So you will need to repeat with a new booking for a 'second' - or for each subsequent - person, along with a donation!
