Welcome to Reculver

Reculver is a small village located on the north coast of Kent, England. It is known for its historic ruins, which include the remains of a Roman fort and a medieval church. The village is situated on a cliff overlooking the sea, and it offers stunning views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside.

The Roman fort at Reculver was built in the 3rd century AD to protect the coast from Saxon invaders. The fort was abandoned in the 5th century, and the site was later used as a quarry for building materials. The remains of the fort can still be seen today, including the foundations of the walls and the gatehouse. The fort is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and visitors who want to learn more about the area's rich past.

The medieval church at Reculver was built in the 12th century on the site of a Saxon church. The church was dedicated to St. Mary and St. Giles, and it served as a place of worship for the local community for many centuries. The church was abandoned in the 19th century, and it fell into disrepair. Today, only the twin towers of the church remain, and they are a prominent landmark in the village. The ruins of the church are a popular destination for visitors who want to explore the area's history and enjoy the stunning views of the coastline.
