The hard work and dedication put in by local volunteers has made this a beautiful place to sit and relax and watch the sun set over the sea.

Visitors to the Roman villa at Bignor will tour the ancient site (circa AD190) that evolved over several centuries, and which houses some of the best preserved mosaics in England.

this is a wonderful example of a roman villa set in the heart of the wessex countryside, plenty of parking with a sweet little cafe.

Dated to about 1400 BC, this mysterious figure is carved into a chalk hillside just below an Iron Age hill fort and can only be seen in its entirety by air.

A perfect day for a visit - sunny with a breeze to keep us cool. There is a charge to use the car park though it’s free if you’re a National Trust member. I would not advise picnicking in the field on the walk from the car park. There will be sheep ticks!

Having visited Canterbury Cathedral the previous day, our visit to St Augustine's didn't disappoint and improved our understanding of the historical events which took place in Canterbury. The site was much larger than expected, with a museum and plenty of information boards as we walked round the ruins. We were able to download an audio guide via a QR Code reader on our smartphone, which provided further information.
8. Reculver Towers and Roman Fort

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.

Not for wet weather but on a sunny day the circuit of the wall is well worth doing. Handy parking. Take in the 12th Century Church and the amphitheatre. Lovely countryside views. Drinks and food at the Calleva in Silchester.
