Dover Bluebird Trail

The Dover Bluebird Heritage Trail is an interactive self-guided tour through the historic heart of Dover, Kent. From stories of Romans and Monastic communities to wartime exploits and the celebration of modern-day achievements, discover Dover’s hidden history.

Entirely on paved surfaces, the Bluebird Heritage Trail is suitable for visitors using wheelchairs and buggies for all but the last section.

The trail can be completed as one walk or explored in several sessions as it is divided into five sections. The first four sections have a combined length of 2.75km (1.71miles). The extension walk (section 5) to the Admiralty Pier is an additional 3.27km (2 miles) including return to the end of the main trail, giving an overall length of 6km (3.74 miles). The main walk is not circular.

The app contains information about the trail, including comprehensive directions, trail map and full details about what can be seen along the route.

The app is GPS-enabled. You will be shown content automatically as you move around the trail. (Please note that you do not have to be actually in the location in order to access any of the content in the app.)

The app also uses GPS to determine your location when the app is running in the background. It will trigger notifications when you are close to a point of interest. As with all apps that use location, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
