PHOTO SHOOTS AND FILM CREWS
Dungeness is a unique area and is favoured by many fashion shoots and film crews. However, Dungeness is also a private estate and a National Nature Reserve. The Dungeness wildlife is sensitive and fragile, while residents live in the 90 houses on the point.
Dungeness is a Site of Special Scientific Interest therefore you could be liable to a fine of up to £20,000 if, without reasonable excuse, you intentionally or recklessly destroy, damage or disturb the flora, fauna or shingle ridges.
You must follow the Code of Practice:
