Event Location - Dungeness

Dungeness National Nature Reserve, Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation sits on the tip of the Romney Marsh peninsula. The shingle landscape is often referred to as Britain’s only desert, and is of international importance for its plant, invertebrate and bird communities.

Footpaths and boardwalks allow visitors to explore the site and nearby attractions include the RSPB Dungeness reserve and visitor centre and Dungeness Bird Observatory, both of which the reserve encompasses. The England Coast Path passes through the site and links to Greatstone Dunes to the north. The site is managed by Romney Marsh Countryside Partnership on behalf of EDF and Natural England.
