Prospect Cottage, Dungeness beach; Romney marsh. Dungeness is not truly a village, more a scattered collection of dwellings. Some of the homes, small wooden houses in the main, many built around old railway coaches, are owned and lived in by fishermen, whose boats lie on the beach; some are occupied by people trying to escape the pressured outside world. The shack-like properties have a high value on the property market. Perhaps the most famous house is Prospect Cottage, formerly owned by the late artist and film director Derek Jarman. The cottage itself is painted black, with a poem, part of John Donne's "The Sunne Rising", written on one side in black lettering. The garden however is the main attraction. Reflecting the bleak, windswept landscape of the peninsula, Derek Jarman's garden is made of pebbles, driftwood, scrap metal and a few hardy plants.
Miniature steam engine, Langford Museum of Power, Essex. This is a 7¼” gauge miniature railway which, on open days, makes regular quarter of a mile passenger trips around the mature woods and meadows that make up the museum grounds. This is one of several steam and diesel engines on the site.
