🔺Over 300 years of military history with an amazing network of underground passageways, historic buildings and gun emplace

ments all set in 20 acres of beautiful parkland.

🔺Take a tour of the incredible tunnel defences, enjoy some light refreshments in our Café or take a stroll to the highest point of the Fort and enjoy the spectacular views over the River Medway and the towns of Chatham and Rochester beyond.

🔺Explore one of Kent’s most haunted locations on spine chilling Ghost Tours or stay until the early hours on one of our Paranormal Investigations.

🔺Hire the Fort for your special private event.
