Easy access to fish the Point at Dungeness

 

 

Easy access is now available for organised fishing groups or clubs to fish between the boats and the Point at Dungeness.

Through the endevours of Phil Tapp (Dungeness AA) and Tony Hills (Varne BC) it is now possible to drive your car along the concrete maintenace road to practically fish out of your car near the Point at Dungeness.

Negotiations with and kind permission from Brian Banks (English Nature), Owen Leyshon (Romney Marsh Countryside Project) and Dungeness Estate have enable a proceedure to be put in place to enable anglers to use the concrete road to access and park next to the beach at weekends.

Anglers wanting to use this fascility must obtain a key or combination lock number from one of the appointed key holders. These are:-

1. Mr Phil Tapp Tel Nr 01797 362934

2. Mr Tony Hills, Seagull Fishing Tackle, 4 The Parade, Greatstone Tel Nr 01797 366837
