we have been waiting since pre covid to see these sound mirrors but always missed the open days - Then it was announced that there was gonna be an open day on 13th Feb 2022 - so straight away I jump on it and booked the tickets as it a place iv always wanted to see
we parked up are 20 mins away and took the lovely little walking route down to the sound mirrors once walking over some stone ( not very comfy in trainers) - they cross names off the list and then we walked over a very small single-file bridge onto the island where the sound mirrors site,
we took our time looking around the sound mirrors and taking photos - there was a talk about them but we didn't stay for the talk but took the opportunity to get some photos we wanted to get at the start without people around as everyone was at the 200f sound mirror.
according to the RSPB website for Denge sound mirrors - these sound mirrors was built between 1928/1935, These mirrors were built as an early warning system to pick up the sounds of approaching enemy aircraft ,
there are 3 sound mirrors that lay on the land and they arrange from 20ft to 200ft
