desert due to its dryness, bare and windblown appearance and spectacular lack of surface vegetation. For wildlife lovers and birdwatchers it is a unique and mystical haven waiting to be explored. The marshy waters are home to mice, snakes and leeches and the vast expanse of skyline on the edge of Britain showcases a large array of stunning birds. This secret spot is certainly like no other. Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in Europe.[2] It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a national nature reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay. There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
