Studying Herne Bay

In this new section we hope help the numerous people who contact us for information on the town to form part of thier GCSE Geography Studies. Herne Bay is often used in studying Coastal Erosion and Protection case studies. Furthermore the cliffs at Bishopstone Glen are some of the best examples of layered rock types in Britain.

Reculver Towers - Notice how close the towers now stand to the edge of the cliff, orignally they were about 1/4 mile inland.
