The imposing twin towers of the medieval church at Reculver dominate the skyline of Herne Bay, acting as a navigation marker for ships at sea. This was the site of one of the earliest Roman forts built against Saxon raids on the 'Saxon Shore'. It later became the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastery before becoming the parish church for Reculver. The tall towers were built in a remodelling of the church in the 12th century. Much of the site has been lost to coastal erosion, but alongside the twin towers are the ruined remains of the early Roman fort. The towers are open after an extensive conservation project, meet the team to learn more of the history of the site while exploring inside the towers.

The access grade for this event is moderate, and will involve walking over uneven terrain and a few steep staircases. We'll be outside for the tour, so please wear suitable footwear and dress for the weather.
