Afternoon

Reculver Country Park & Reculver Towers

The twin towers of St Mary's Church are a distinctive feature of the north Kent coast. They are visible for miles around, guiding visitors as they have guided sailors for centuries. But there is much more to Reculver than the towers...

Herne Bay Museum and Gallery

This coastal museum features the story of the Victorian seaside resort of Herne Bay and its surrounding area, with exciting finds from nearby Reculver Roman Fort.

Herne Bay Clock Tower and Bandstand

In the spring and summer months the seafront's beauty is enhanced by gardens, which bring floral colour for visitors who pass the Clock Tower and Bandstand.

Herne Bay Clock Tower and Bandstand

The clock tower is the most striking piece of architecture in the town, which was built in 1837 to commemorate the men of Herne Bay who volunteered for the Boar war. The Bandstand is an ideal venue for those who enjoy café culture and is also a focal point for summer concerts, other musical events and children's entertainment.
