Abstract: |
The Romney Marshes are an area of reclaimed, low-lying, open marshland mainly in Kent but also stretching into East Sussex. The area is bound to the south and east by the English Channel and to the north and west by upstanding, old sea cliffs. They form a remote, horizontal landscape of open agricultural land crossed by drainage dykes and marshes and dominated by the sky. In contrast to the reclaimed marshes, there are also extensive shingle beaches at Dungeness and small areas of sand dunes at Camber Sands. The area is distinctive for its open character and absence of woodland (0.8%). The urban area is just 3.9%. About 28% of the area falls within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). |
