Great place but make sure you see it all

Awesome place left to explore but don't just stop at the first battery push on to the next and go through the tunnel .... Find hidden tunnels that lead to the cliff edge ... Great for kids ... Complete open access

Well worth the drive

It's a great drive up and down narrow mountainous roads and not for those of a nervous disposition but the views are tremendous and certainly worth it. For someone like myself who is a bit of a sad history buff and as such had read...More

An historical mountain drive.

The drive to the battlements and Vickers guns, overlooking the sea, is well worth making. The great guns, never fired in anger, were manufactured in Coventry, United Kingdom, and bought to the cliff tops along the winding military road by traction engines, long since lost.

Great place, but no facilities

Went with family including a lady who struggled to walk. A very interesting drive along a winding road to get there and parking was on an unpaved and small carpark. The fort itself at the time we visited (August) had no facilities like a cafe...More

A great walk alongside history

Went today to look at the big guns here but found a much bigger site than we thought. It was a thoroughly enjoyable walk with the dogs and the vistas our to the sea were stunning.
