Regarded by the Society as a ‘primeval’ habitat, rich in scarce plants and insects. Today, East Cliff and Warren Country Park falls within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Despite suffering from habitat loss and scrub invasion, it is still rich in wildlife, with chalk grassland wildflowers growing alongside salt-loving rock sea lavender and rock samphire. It is the only remaining site in Kent for the grayling butterfly. Owned by Kent County Council and managed by the White Cliffs Countryside Project, it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
