The trail is generally suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs although there are occasional patches of more loose shingle.

What can I do?

In a move that would destroy the natural tranquillity of Dungeness and could see its remarkable wildlife slowly disappear, the owners of Lydd airport want to increase the number of passengers that fly from there from 4,000 a year to 500,000.
