Richborough Roman Fort and Amphitheatre

Part of the English Heritage ... well worth getting a subscription if you are in Kent there are so many EH sites to see Richborough has a great audio guide so you get an expert to explain how the buildings were constructed and used. There is also a small exhibition showing artifacts from the site. Amazing how far it is now from the sea considering it was build at the seafront (the coast had moved not the fort 😀)

I didn’t realise this was an English Heritage site so was pleasantly surprised when I came here. My friend and I were greeted by a friendly member of staff whom offered me a discount to become a member. I am now! There is a museum here as well which was very interesting to look through. You then go out and can have a leisurely walk around the fort. A whole wealth of information on the boards as well. Fascinating to know this was the gateway to Britannica!! There is a car park here but it’s free. Added bonus is there are toilets here. Now these are compostable toilets, your waste helps the planet! Was weird not flushing though 😂 I would definitely come back here again. As a Roman history lover it is a must see. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

Really enjoyed our first visit. What a great little hidden gem. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Particularly Lindsay and Neil. Thank you so much.

Before entering I read a review which said there wasn’t much here - well it depends on expectations! I would recommend the guidebook to get your bearings although the usual panels are available. The site is quite big and is a really interesting one for those interested in Roman Britain, Richborough being an important port. It was easy to imagine what the site looked like through the centuries. Really enjoyed this one! Recommended!

Theres not a huge amount to see here and only made worthwhile for us being cadw members. However its still a nice and well kept site in peaceful surroundings in the countryside. The lady in the gift shop was nice and polite .

If you are interested in Roman history then this is for you, Richborough is where the Romans first landed and built a fort and town, a lot of interesting history, easy to get to and a good couple of hours, well worth a look

Had a fantastic time in brilliant weather at the fort. English Heritage, Staff were helpful and informative. The audio description was very useful.

The staff here are fantastic, and the audio guide is interesting to listen to as you walk around. It is a beautiful site, and I would definitely recommend it.
