Dungeness is a unique kind of place. Both desolate and beautiful, bleak and charming, you'll find the Dungeness Nuclear Power Station besides some excellent bird watching opportunities at Romney Marsh and a large shingle beach.

In fact, this area is the most diverse example of stable vegetated shingle in all of Europe!
