Gazen Salts Nature Reserve — Local services in Dover

I recently visited this stunning nature reserve and was genuinely impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. The walking trails were well-maintained and clearly signposted, making it easy to explore without feeling lost. I saw a variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance, which made the experience even more memorable.

There are plenty of quiet spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings, and the mix of woodland, wetlands, and open fields kept things interesting throughout the walk. It’s a great place for photography, family outings, or just a solo escape into nature.

Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some fresh air. Highly recommended for nature lovers or anyone needing a break...

If you;ve not been down yet you should make this a priority ,you will not be disappointed. small note: take wellies if it's...

I came here and sat for a couple of hours by the lake and caught up with a favourite book. Best couple of quiet hours I've had in a while.

I was recently told that Gazen Salts Nature Reserve had only just reopened due to severe flooding that decimated much of the #wildlife. Apparently, it took the goodwill of a volunteer committee to restore this...
