Location  Dover / Folkstone

Access: Yes public footpath 

We spent the day walking from Dover to Folkestone. It was a cold day, but enjoyable. As we walked, we stumbled upon a sound mirror that was just sitting there for anyone to see. The sound mirror was designed to detect enemy aircraft, providing a warning before they could be visually identified.

Dungeness Beach

Dungeness Beach 

Date: 9-03-2019 

Location: Dungeness 

Access: Yes

We spent the day in Dungeness, and this was my first time visiting. I was amazed by how much was just left there. However, I wasn’t a fan of walking over the shingles and stones on the beach. Overall, it was a really good place to explore. Dungeness is a shingle beach and is classified as Kent's "only desert." The site was sold to EDF Energy for over £1.5 million. There are only 29 houses in this area.

Lydd Train station

Lydd Train station 

Date: 9-3-2019 

location: Lydd 

access: no 

During our trip to Dungeness for the day, we noticed this abandoned train station and decided to stop and explore. To our surprise, getting inside was quite easy, and we were shocked by how many original features remained. The station opened in December 1881 but sadly closed to passengers in 1967. It continued to be used for freight trains until 1971, when it was completely abandoned
