:''This article is about the geographical term, for the artistic technique see Dry point engraving''
In geography a 'dry point' is an area of firm or flood-free ground in an area of wetland, marsh or flood plains. The term typically applies to settlements, and dry point settlements were common in history.
In the United Kingdom extreme examples of dry point settlements include Glastonbury, situated on a low hill in the marshy, and once perpetually flooded, Somerset Levels, and Wareham in Dorset surrounded by flood plains to the west and Poole Harbour to the east.
