'Get Wild' at Reculver

Nik Mitchell, a Kent-based environmentalist, filmmaker, and educator known for his Get Wild social media platforms, visited Reculver in 2025 to see inside the North Tower. He met with Reculver's lead volunteer to learn more about the site, its past, and the effects of coastal erosion, which still threaten Reculver today.
