Castrum Regulbium, Roman fort in Reculver, England
The stone walls of Castrum Regulbium measure 10 feet thick at their base and extend across 7.5 acres of coastal terrain in Kent.
Built around 210 AD, this military installation protected the northern entrance of the Wantsum Channel, connecting the Thames Estuary to inland Roman settlements.
The First Cohort of Baetasii, recruited from Lower Germany, maintained this strategic outpost as part of the Saxon Shore defensive network.
Visitors can examine the preserved southern and eastern walls while following the ancient via Principalis pathway through the fort's remains.
The fort contains a fig tree near its ruins that researchers suggest descends from plants introduced during the Roman occupation period.
