Dungeness
Kent, UK
Temperamental, bleak and quite frankly apocalyptic-looking: if 2020 were a landscape, it would be Dungeness. It's precisely this wild beauty that attracted Derek Jarman, the late artist and film producer, who saw out his dying days from his coastal-view abode, Prospect Cottage. Despite having been saved from demolition courtesy of an extensive fundraising campaign, the cottage itself won't be available to tour until later in the year. Regardless, this dramatic stretch of coastline is a real boon for outdoors enthusiasts.
