About
Reculver Towers and Roman Fort is a captivating archaeological site on Kent’s east coast that transports visitors back to the early Roman era and the medieval period. The twin towers of the medieval church, dating from a 12th‑century remodelling, dominate the shoreline and offer a dramatic reminder of the Saxon Shore’s defensive network. The earth‑bound Roman fort walls, visible along the dunes, illustrate how the Romans protected this coastal strip from raiding parties. Free to explore during daylight hours, the site is an ideal, low‑cost excursion for history lovers, families, walkers and dog owners alike.
