Reculver forms part of a RAMSAR and SSSI and includes the famous Reculver Towers, a designated Scheduled Ancient Monument. For years the Country Park has been dominated by struggling businesses including caravan parks and amusement ‘attractions’. The Allen Scott masterplan provides long term guidance for the regeneration of the area as well as enhancements to the park itself. A market-led and consultative approach was taken and a strategy developed to re-brand it as an eco-tourist destination. With an emphasis on cycling, wildlife, heritage and healthy living, proposals include a 250 acre wetland, new tourist accommodation and a Visitor Centre which was designed and delivered by Allen Scott using sustainable technologies including recycled materials, a woodchip boiler, sun tubes and photovoltaic’s.
