Richborough Castle contains the ruins of a Roman Saxon Shore fort, collectively known as Richborough Fort or Richborough Roman Fort. It is situated in Richborough near Sandwich, Kent, in the United Kingdom. Rutupiae or Portus Ritupis was founded by the Romans after their invasion of Britain in AD 43. Because of its position near the mouth of the Stour, Rutupiae was the major British port under the Romans and the starting point for the road now known as Watling Street. Additional routes connected Durovernum with further ports at Dubris, Lemanis, and Regulbium. Earth fortifications were first dug on the site in the 1st century, probably as a storage depot and bridgehead for the Roman army.

Richborough is one of the most symbolically important of all Roman sites in Britain, since it witnesses both the beginning and almost the end of Roman rule here in Britain.

This was the first landing place and town of the Romans when they landed on the British Isles - a really interesting introduction to our early history - worth many visits.
