The UK's Number One Geography Portal!!	Virtual Fieldwork: Reculver

Unit One: Coastal Erosion and Management At Reculver In Kent [U.K.]

The small section of coast used in this Virtual Fieldwork Unit lies to the east of London in the county of Kent. It stretches from Herne Bay in the west of the county to the Wantsum Channel in the east. The majority of the area studied lies within the Reculver Country Park, a small area of protected countryside. The area is a useful one to study since natural rates of erosion are high and much has been done to try and manage this section of coast with varying degrees of success.

This Virtual Fieldwork Unit allows you to 'walk' around the area either as a casual visitor or as a student learning the Geography of the area. You can:

look at digital photos of the coastal landforms and coastal defences
look at notes relating to each photo
call-up extra notes about particular processes and landforms
try a short test or wordsearch based on what you have learnt in this unit

You can at any time back-track or repeat sections of information to follow-up items of interest or reinforce what you have learnt. You can now:

Look at more detailed maps of the coast

Start on the Virtual Fieldwork Tour

Look at some background information

Do a Test or Wordsearch

Have fun......
