Pevensey Levels, East Sussex. Ancient landscape with medieval saltpans and lost villages. Was flooded by the sea in great storms. Home to lapwings.

There is extensive history to this area. Even the Pope's representative came here in mediaeval times to resolve church disputes amongst the villagers. Great storms have caused massive damage to the farms over the last 500 years. Remains of lost villages can still be seen.
