Tilbury: Tilbury Fort 
Description
Originally built as a small fort for the protection of the River Thames by Henry VIII, the site was expanded over time with a major overhaul undertaken during the reign of Charles II to create much of the shape of the fort that exists today. Further changes took place during the Victorian era. Today many of the barrack and official buildings have dissapeared, but some of the powder magazines, officer's quarters and the chappel remains which helps give you a feel of the site.

Getting There
From Southend there are half hourly trains to Tilbury Town. From there the number 99 town circular bus connects to take you down to the Gravesend ferry at Tilbury Riverside - this used to be a train line, which has never been officially closed, so through ticketing including the bus to Tilbury Riverside is available. In the opposite direction the bus connects with the ferry and should connect with the trains back, but the connection is tight and if the ferry is delayed the bus will wait for that, so you may end up with a lengthy wait on TIlbury Town station. Total journey time is about 50 minutes.Latitude: 51.452776; Longitude: 0.374743
