Situated in an 16 acre abandoned chalk quarry on the Isle of Thanet in East Kent. There are over 350 species of flowering plant, including 8 species of orchid, and 25 species of butterfly have been recorded, along with innumerable other species of insect, mammal and bird-life. The reserve is also home to the first artificial bat cave to be constructed in the UK. On-site is a well-resourced Field Study Centre, which contains a number of different exhibitions, including a large geological collection. Fossils, rocks and minerals from the Mesozoic, Cainozoic, and Pleistocene are on display. We have a good reference library for those visitors who wish to delve that little bit further including a well stocked natural history reference library. The very popular low priced second hand bookshop is open all year round. Donations of books are always welcome. The picnic site is close to the Field Study Centre, with other seating at strategic intervals around the reserve.
