Arne is celebrated for its lowland heathland, which is rare in Europe, and its wildlife including Dartford warblers, nightjars, all six species of British reptile, plus many species of butterflies, dragonflies, and moths. It is also home to nearly 500 types of flowering plant.
A new Visitor Information Centre has been constructed with staff and volunteers manning it during the day. Nest cameras have also been installed with images shown in the Centre which can be seen during the breeding season.
