Displacement activities in Kent (part 2. Dungeness)

I had wanted to visit Dungeness for ages as there is a small beach house there clad completely in black rubber and I knew it was a bit of an architectural oddity.  But apart from there being a massive nuclear power station in Dungeness which dominates the landscape I knew very little about the place.

I was in for a treat as what a strange beauty the place has with its expanse of shingle beach which is dotted with rare flowers and desert plants. The birds called and wheeled above my head in a vast sky which seems to go on forever.

The shingle is scattered with long abandoned tumbled down fishermen’s huts that jut out at odd angles from the landscape.

A lovely house

While there are lots of Tar painted timber cottages doted along the shingle at Dungeness there are also modern homes such as this above.

I want this house!

If you get a chance to visit Dungeness you must as it is magical!

Oh and if you are wondering about the rubber house, I’m saving that story till next time :)

  3. I hope the you get the chance to come over one day, there are some great places to go. I think you would like it at Dungeness!

  4. Some lovely pictures. I love B&W, and you have the balance down pat. My favourite is Abandoned, and this may just inspire me to pop over there someday.

  5. Thank you SJT! If you get the chance to go you must, its like going back in time :)
