This fort is located at the mouth of the River Odet and was originally built in 1862 to replace an earlier earthwork redoubt. It's a standard design that is seen in many similar coastal locations, there's another one on the adjacent headland, but this one has been adapted as a sailing centre by the addition of a superstructure. Normally, it's difficult to get up close due to fencing, but that has been removed for the winter so I could do a full walk around. It would make a fantastic home if it ever came up for sale?
