Pegwell Bay Country Park

Pegwell Bay Country Park: The Country Park is a good point from which to explore the northern section of the reserve. The Country Park itself was once a landfill site, which was covered in topsoil and planted with trees and is now a wildlife haven in its own right. There is a waymarked trail around the site and a hide ideally placed for observing the birdlife of the mudflats and estuary. The dune systems are to be found in the southern and central sections.

In the summer the grass is dotted with wild flowers such as orchids and broomrapes. In the winter the foreshore and mudflats attract thousands of wading birds, including dunlin, sanderling and grey plover. Birds of prey, such as Merlin, can also be seen at the site. Birdwatchers can use the public bird hide, which is also accessible for disabled visitors.
