Image: Reculver from Country Park

Description: View of Reculver looking east from Reculver Country Park. The cliff is receding at about 3.28 feet (1 m) per year. The ruined parish church incorporates the remains of a monastic church established in 669 AD near the centre of an abandoned Roman fort which was roughly square in plan: a section of the southern wall of the fort is visible to the left of the static caravans below the town of Margate on the horizon at right, and from reference to this and the church an impression can be gained of the fort's size. It is believed that the fort's location when built was at the southern end of an elongated promontory which reached about 1.25 miles (2 km) to the north-east, roughly in the direction of the left-most ships in the image. The centre of Reculver village lay a little below and left of centre in the area shown until washed away by the sea around the end of the 18th century.
