Dungeness, located on the southern coast of Kent, is a truly unique destination often described as England’s only desert. Its stark, otherworldly landscape of shingle beaches and weathered fishing huts is a haven for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Begin your visit with a stroll around the Dungeness National Nature Reserve, home to rare flora and fauna, and marvel at the iconic Dungeness lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of this striking area.
For a taste of local flavors, head to The Pilot Inn, renowned for its fresh seafood, particularly its fish and chips. Another option is the Dungeness Snack Shack, offering delicious dishes like lobster rolls, perfect for a casual bite. Art lovers will appreciate a visit to Prospect Cottage, once home to filmmaker Derek Jarman. Round off your day with a ride on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, a charming miniature steam train that captures the essence of this remarkable coastal spot.
