The ruined fort here was built to defend Britain against a possible Napoleonic invasion. It has been adapted since then to provide sighting and coastal defence until the end of WW2. It's now a ruin but very interesting with lots of intact rooms and information boards to explain what everything used to be.

Great view looking back towards Weston, a site of some historical significance and a bracing walk😀
