A gorgeous ramble over the White Cliffs, this architecture walk from Dover to Deal is led by architect and writer Charles Holland. It includes some of the nine 21st century structures of CHALKUP21 as well as other buildings of interest along the route and will address issues of local history, art and the environment. His new book How to enjoy Architecture – a guide for everyone, is published by Yale University Press.
