Parks & Nature
With stunning views across the Wye Downs AONB, this hiking spot is a favourite at any time of year. Well worth timing your walk for sunset on the ridge before heading to one of Wye's cosy pubs for a drink.

Offering dramatic views across the windswept peninsula, Dungeness is reputed to qualify as Britain's only desert due to it's having such low rainfall.
Listed as a Site of Specific Scientific Interest, Dungeness is a remarkable place, almost other worldly. It's several curios include the Acoustic Mirrors at RAF Denge, Prospect Cottage, home to the artist Derek Jarman, The Seven Lighthouses and Lighthousemens' Dwellings, Dungeness B Nuclear Power Station, Dungeness Bird Observatory, and celeb spotting over fish & chips at The Pilot. Dungeness also serves as the terminus for Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway, est. 1927, a quaint way to see the marsh.
