Prospect Cottage, Dungeness

Highlight • Monument

Prospect Cottage was once the home of Derek Jarman. From when he moved here in 1986, it became a hub of creativity through film, writing, art and gardening. The cottage is open to the public, but pre-booking is essential. For further details please see the website creativefolkestone.org.uk/prospect-cottage

Dungeness Fish Hut

Highlight • Restaurant

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!

New Dungeness Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

This is the fifth of seven lighthouses in the Dungeness area and sits less than a mile from the beautiful Old Lighthouse.

The colour is actually impregnated in the concrete rather than painted on and makes for some incredible photos as it contrasts against the alien Dungeness landscape.

RSPB Dungeness Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Set close to the Dungeness Power Station, this haven for wildlife couldn't be further from Nuclear Energy. There are a large number of hides throughout the reserve, but please note that dogs are not permitted due to the special nature of the habitat. There is also a visitors centre and cafe on site.
