If you want to star in your own personal version of Dune , you don’t need to go all the way to Arrakis. The idyllic and peaceful landscapes of Dungeness, the UK’s only desert, should be all you need for an otherworldly getaway right without going abroad . Based in Kent, Dungeness is described by reviewers on Tripadvisor as a ‘history-filled natural paradise’ with sandy terrains stretching 16km long.
If you want a unique adventure, this is it. #fyp #foryou #JDSummerDrip #uniqueplaces #strangerthings #uktravelblogger #uk #dungeness #tiktoktravel #thingstodo #roadtrip #thingstodoinlondon #weekendadventure #adventuretravel From seals, to Arctic terns, to porpoises, Dungeness is full of lively wildlife and unexpected treasures to discover. ‘At times, it feels like a ‘forgotten about film set,’ one visitor named Ashford28 wrote on TripAdvisor, while another, 863garym , described it in a review titled ‘history filled and natural paradise’ as ‘a fantastically strange place,’ with beaches ‘full of history and things to look at.
’ Similarly, @worldshirl dubs it ‘bleakly captivating’ while @BirdBrain99 said there was ‘scenery like nowhere else.’ The crumbling fishing boats, deserted shores, and the towering power station add a foreboding and gothic vibe to the landscape that would make Emily Bronte shudder. It’s sea defenses also date back to the Roman era — although we can expect most of Dungeness to ‘return to the sea’ within 150 years.
So, arg.
