Altre informazioni:
The flat open landscape, long views, dramatic skies create visual sensitivity to any form of development or tall structures within and adjacent to the Lydden Valley marshes. ◼ Long open views east to the coast and south to edge of Deal and Betteshanger. ◼ Strong ecological interest associated with freshwater grazing marsh and drainage ditches, supporting numbers of wildfowl and waders (SSSI, SPA, Ramsar). ◼ Small blocks of ancient woodlands including wet alder wood, within the open landscape. ◼ Absence of development/settlement across the area contributing to the sense of openness and remote qualities. ◼ Overall tranquil, isolated rural character – sense of history and time depth associated with traditional grazing marsh. ◼ Value for informal recreation via a network of rights of way that link to inland villages and the coast.
