My daughter and I had a lovely time at The Activity Box, we painted and also used the foam clay, which was great fun. Abi was very good at explaining the new safety guidelines and was on hand for any queries. We also purchased a foam clay kit to take home. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

The twin towers of the original St Mary's church (the replacement church is a mile and a half further inland towards Herne Bay) have been preserved to act as a landmark for shipping entering the Thames Estuary. Next to the towers, the outline of the original Roman fort has been marked out. The towers were formerly quite a way in but erosion of the coastline has brought them to the very edge of the cliffs. Much construction work has kept them safe for the foreseeable future and a coastal path runs from Herne Bay to the west as far as Margate, about ten miles to the east, providing an opportunity to either walk or cycle as far as Thanet. There is a visitor centre (only open at weekends) giving details of the history and geographical nature of the area. There are also public toilets, including disabled facilities. If you fancy a quick drink, the King Ethelbert pub is next to the large car park at the foot of the towers. On a clear day, Reculver will provide you with spectacular coastal sunset photo opportunities and the wide open space gives a feeling of peace. I have been coming here for over 40 years to either just sit and contemplate or to walk my dogs and it never fails to make me smile.

Reasonably comfy seats and cheap ticket price. Currently the car park is free for 2 hours too. Central location, friendly staff. Two screens so a choice of films. Has all current releases, you can book for seats in advance (ie for Star Wars etc). Good value local cinema.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
Facing Telford Terrace is a quaisi Victorian sunken garden, erected to celebrate the twinning of Waltrop and Herne Bay. The sundial on the seaward side is a gift from Waltrop, designed by the burgermeister Herr Jochen Mungner. In the centre of the garden is a Portland stone fountain given to the town in 1888 by London Alderman Col. Horatio Davies, who became Lord Mayor of London. (This fountain was originally located near the clock tower).

Really good!! Not just the animals we saw but also what this all stands for. Loved the arctic foxes. From red squirrels to the wolves and bears to the sweet beavers. The rope bridge above the bears was great. I cant believe how anyone could give this attraction below 3 stars. Keep up the good work,l. ????
