The Chalk Path/Le Chemin de Craie - Alison Neighbour
A self-guided audio-walk through the Deep Time of the chalk cliffs at their closest point across the Channel.
Date: Friday 5th September - Sunday 19th October
Opening Times: 07.00 - 19.00
Location: East Cliff Coastwatch Station CT19 6PU
The Chalk Path/Le Chemin de Craie is a self-guided geo-located audio walk that will take you deep into the cliffs at Folkestone Warren and Cap Blanc Nez. The walk immerses the listener in the story of how the land formed and invites a reconsideration of our relationship with our ancient ancestors, the rocks; gently questioning our place in it all, as newcomers to this earth. The audio is a long-form poem inspired by the history and geology of the site, including conversations with geologists who proved the megaflood theory, and by observations of change and movement within this place over more recent times.
The journey is guided by hand-illustrated maps that reconnect the land now called England and France. Walkers can follow a route on either side of the Channel, accompanied by English or French audio.
