Pegwell Bay

Part of the bay is a nature reserve, with seashore habitats including mudflats and salt marsh with migrating waders and wildfowl.

The public can access the nature reserve via Pegwell Bay Country Park, which is off the A256 Ramsgate to Dover road.

Archaeologists suggest that Pegwell Bay was the landing site for both Roman invasions of Britain by Julius Caesar.

In 2017 the University of Leicester excavated a large fort dating from 54 BC; it was the previous lack of such evidence that had prevented historians from fixing the exact site of Caesar's landing.

A full-size replica Scandinavian longboat complete with shields is situated by the main road on the low clifftops above Pegwell Bay to commemorate the first Anglo-Saxon landings in England hereabouts.
