Lydden Down

Last week, Ruth took me to Lydden Down for a run through the nature reserve....one word: stunning!
If you're like me and don't know Dover that well {yet}, then you'll be blown away by some of the beauty that you can find in the most unexpected places! We pulled up to the car park and made our way through the forest and onto the downs. Lucky for us (as you'll see in the picture below) the sun was shining, the air was warm and we even got bit of a suntan! It was gorgeous to see some forest areas around the open spaces of the downs and it seemed to be the perfect time of year to see a lot of the famous chalkland wildflowers. If you're interested in some of the rare wildflowers and species we get on chalkland, have a peek at this website, which also has a great selection of other exciting things to see and do in Kent! I'm particularly excited about making my way through these!!
