How to get here
The nearest station is Rye, 10 miles (16 km) from the reserve. You can then take the bus 100 to Lydd, and bus 11/11A/11B (not Sundays) from Lydd to the reserve.
Ashford station is 16 miles (25 km) from the reserve. You can use bus service 11/11A/11B (not Sundays) to reserve.
Folkestone station is 20 miles (32 km) from the reserve. You can use bus service 101 to Lydd and bus 11/11A/11B (not Sundays) from Lydd to reserve.
Bus services 11/11A/11B from Ashford via Lydd (not Sundays) stop on request at the reserve entrance from where there is a one-mile walk to the Visitor Centre. There is a limited service on bus 102 from Lydd or Folkestone. The nearest stops on Sundays are at either Lydd or Lydd-on-Sea (The Pilot Inn).
This mainly flat traffic-free route, part of the National Cycle Route 2, starts from the railway station at Rye. The route crosses the River Rother and continues on a dedicated cycle path heading towards camber, past small lakes (a good place to watch herons) and a golf course.
On the outskirts of Camber, the route takes you along a minor road through the town and onto the sea wall. The route continues along the sea wall, then sets off inland along a cycle path set back from the road all the way up to Lydd were you will then find signs directing you to RSPB Dungeness. Please be careful as this route might take you on busy main roads in places.
One mile out of Lydd on the Dungeness Road turn right for the main site. The visitor centre and car park are one mile along the entrance track.
