Enjoy an afternoon out at the popular Kearsney Parks - Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens – located on the outskirts of Dover.
Once part of grand country houses and estates, the parks are beautiful open spaces for the public to enjoy. Restored in 2020 as part of a £3m investment from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Community Fund, renovations included refurbishments to the café, enhanced children’s play area and a Changing Places facility
The ornamental lake, riverbanks and landscaped park make a wonderful outdoor space that everyone can enjoy.
The parks are holders of the prestigious Green Flag Award.
Free to visit
You’ll find Kearsney Parks just over two miles north west of Dover town centre in the Alkham Valley, which is within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
