Tankerton Slopes, Protected natural area in Whitstable, United Kingdom
The north-facing slopes extend across 2.3 hectares of land, reaching heights of 15 meters from the promenade and containing a diverse herb population.
The site has maintained its ecological importance since its designation as a Special Area of Conservation, protecting rare species and natural habitats.
Local residents and visitors gather along the promenade at the base of the slopes, where a line of beach huts creates a traditional English seaside setting.
The slopes connect to a promenade that extends from Whitstable to Swalecliffe, providing access points and viewing areas for the Thames Estuary.
During low tide, a natural phenomenon called The Street appears as a gravel spit extending 750 meters into the sea, allowing visitors to walk far offshore.
