In the time of foot and mouth, when the countryside was closed I visited Dungeness. It felt like half the population of Kent was clinging to the furthest extremity of the county, evicted from more familiar landscapes.
Dungeness is not like other places. A tiny railway a huge nuclear power station and, in their season, alive with birds.
Here’s a compelling evocation of the place – part of BBC Radio 4’s Nature series. Paul Evans tells the story of this world of shingle.
The RSPB has been part of the Dungeness story for over 100 years and we are still campaigning to protect this special place from harm – you can read about our opposition to plans to expand Lydd Airport here.
