Crownhill Fort

Crownhill Fort is the best preserved of Lord Palmerston's Ring of Fire which surrounded Plymouth in Victorian times, considerably protecting the Royal Dockyard at Devonport from tough assault that is french! The biggest and most original of Plymouth's forts, Crownhill occupies one of many highest points in the city and will be offering views that are great it is still mysteriously hard to see on the approach: trust your map, it is here! As soon as you believe it is you'll find 4 fighting levels with placements for 32 cannons and 6 mortars, almost a mile that is 50 % of tunnels, and concealed accommodation for 300 soldiers!Self led tours of the ramparts and Fort Grounds can be obtained on the last Friday of each thirty days plus you can find regular open days whenever access is allowed to the public, but otherwise they're private grounds and never open to walk in custom, so this is one to plan very carefully into the holiday schedule.
