About

Reculver ward encompasses the coastal village of Reculver and its surrounding rural land on the northeastern edge of the Canterbury district. The area is defined by its position where the River Wantsum channel meets the Thames Estuary, creating a landscape of marshes and farmland. The prominent ruins of the medieval Reculver Towers, built within a former Roman fort, stand as a historic landmark on the shoreline.

The economy has traditional ties to agriculture and fishing, with the coastline supporting wildlife habitats. The Saxon Shore Way long-distance path follows the sea wall here, attracting walkers. The village itself is a small, linear settlement along the main road, with local services centred around the church and a pub, maintaining a quiet, residential character separate from the city.
