| DUNGENESS |
|
| The Dungeness peninsula is a unique site, famous for its lighthouse, light railway and bird observatory, but there is much more to explore.
The RSPB reserve covers a wide swathe of shingle and a series of pools and pits rich in wildlife. The picture windows in the visitor centre overlook a lake full of birds, especially gulls and wildfowl in winter and terns in summer.
Paths lead you around the reserve to a series of further pools and birdwatching hides, each providing a different bird experience.
As it projects out into the English Channel, Dungeness is often the first, or last, landfall for migrating birds and the open water and scattered bushes around the site can be very rewarding for the birdwatcher at any season.
The gift shop and refreshments are available year-round and there is a comprehensive series of guided walks, including some special events for families based around the theme of `nature detective`. |
