Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Cliffe Marshes, Hoo Peninsula, Kent. Charles Dickens described the marshes in this part of North Kent as a "dark flat wilderness", and they are the setting for the first part of his book "Great Expectations", where Pip comes across the escaped convict, Magwitch. It is almost as much a wilderness now as it was in the 19th century, being a winter haven for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of migratory birds (and home to a few sheep as well). Yet it may soon be the site of another airport for London, twice the size of Heathrow. |
