Peene Quarry Picnic Site
Part of the Folkestone to Etchinghill Escarpment Site of Special Scientific Interest, the main feature of Peene Quarry is the large area of chalk grassland on the steep-sided slopes.
In Summer the grassland is covered with rare flowers and herbs, including cowslip, vetches, thyme, rock rose and a range of orchids.
These plants attract butterflies such as the common and chalkhill blues; blue and green hairstreak; marbled whites; and the, nationally scarce, adonis blue.
In total, 45 nationally rare or scarce insects are found within this area.
