Dungeness camping
Dungeness camping Trip
June 2024
If you love Big Skies and steam trains then Dungeness is the place to visit!
Visiting Dungeness offers a unique and memorable experience due to its distinctive landscape, diverse wildlife, and rich history. Here are several reasons to consider a trip to this unusual destination:
1. Unique Landscape: Dungeness is known for its shingle beach, which is one of the largest expanses of shingle in Europe. The stark, almost desert-like environment creates a dramatic and otherworldly atmosphere.
2. Wildlife and Nature: The area is a haven for birdwatchers and naturalists, boasting a variety of bird species, especially in the Dungeness National Nature Reserve. The shingle supports unique plant life, and there are many rare species to be found.
3. Historic Lighthouses: Dungeness has two notable lighthouses. The Old Lighthouse, built in 1904, is a striking landmark and offers panoramic views from the top. The New Lighthouse, constructed in 1961, is also interesting to visit.
4. Dungeness Power Station: The nuclear power station is an intriguing site, reflecting the area's industrial significance. Though tours are not typically available, its presence adds to the uniqueness of the landscape.
5. Art and Architecture: The area is dotted with quirky, creative homes and structures, including Prospect Cottage, once owned by the artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman. His garden, which thrives in the shingle environment, is a highlight.
7. Photographic Opportunities: The desolate beauty of Dungeness, with its abandoned boats, derelict buildings, and wide skies, makes it a favorite spot for photographers.
8. Peace and Tranquility: For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle, Dungeness offers a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy the serenity of nature.
Overall, Dungeness is a destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical interest, and artistic inspiration, making it a compelling place to visit.

so many ugly, ugly people in one place
How long was the whole experience
Hi we were out on the boat for a full day, trip included pick up from our hotel about 8.30am, lunch and all diving gear. then a drop of back at the hotel for about 5pm. There are 2 dives during the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon for beginners and experienced divers. Hope this was useful. Are you thinking of going diving?
@@Postcardfromus... I am but I’m not sure I can do this fri the whole day
@@dandanlovesdisblock You are only actually diving for 30-40 minutes each dive, the rest of the time is spent getting to and from the dive site, getting changed and having lunch. You will have time to relax a bit and enjoy the scenery! ...

Good video, me and my son did this walk in August 2018 Oludeniz - Kayakoy and back again, was hard on the way there but seemed easier on the way back. enjoyed a nice cold beer at billy's beach at the lagoon on the way back. watching this brought back the memories
Hi.. Glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back good memories for you.. I find walking one way is enough. We get the Dolmus back to Fethiye!
Gostei muito do vídeo de vcs! As informações escritas na tela me serão de muita valia. Obrigada!
Glad you liked the video and you found it informative!..
Love the little boats moored along the bird sanctuary . That end of the beach is quite cool too. Not touristy just locals fishing and relaxing
