Hiking
The Denge sound mirrors (or 'listening ears') are absolutely enormous and quite awe-inspiring when you stand next to them. They served as listening devices during the war as their shape would be able to pick up enemy aircraft sound before the planes could be seen. These were built around 1929.
You can access the sound mirrors on one of the RSPB open days only. Check out the dates here: rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/dungeness/lade-pits-and-the-denge-sound-mirrors
If you're hiking on a day with no access, you can still admire them from afar.

Hiking
The only way of seeing the Denge sound mirrors close up is during one of the public open days run by the RSPB. There is no public access to the Dungeness mirrors, which are in the middle of a disused gravel pit. Contact the RSPB for the dates of future open days.
