Reculver Towers and Roman Fort
Reculver Towers and Roman Fort
An imposing landmark, the twin 12th-century towers of the ruined church stand amid the remains of an important Roman 'Saxon Shore' fort and a Saxon monastery.
The most dominant features of this site are the 12th-century towers of the former monastic church, which stand out on the skyline for miles around.
Coastal erosion has brought the edge of the beach to the towers, which act as a navigation marker for shipping. Much of the site has now been lost to the sea.
