Gazen Salts Nature Reserve

Gazen Salts would in Roman times have formed the bottom of the Wantsum Channel, a straight of water which divided Kent from the Isle of Thanet. It is from this history the 'Salts' part of the name is derived. Gazen is a corruption of the name of a lease holder of the saltings, John Gason.

The area is a favourite destination among those seeking a return to nature. A great way to enjoy and support Gazen Salts is by joining our volunteer days. Get hands on, learn new skills, meet new people and enjoy the countryside and fresh air with these outdoor opportunities.
