Newhaven: Fort
Description
There have been fortifications on this headland back to at least the Roman times, but the current fort is Victorian. It was designed to hunker down into the landscape and be almost invisible so any attacking enemy wouldn't really know what they were coming across. Not that any of that design was ever put to test, with the threat from the French already having receded by the time the fort opened (in fact by then the main Enemy Napoleon III was retired and living in Kent!)

Getting There
See Newhaven for details on getting to the town. From Newhaven Town station it's about a 25 minute walk along the opposite bank of the river to the fort - the walk is pretty flat until the final 300m or so where you climb up to the fort.
