Description

The largest military structure ever built in Sussex, this Victorian Palmerston fort sits on chalk cliffs with panoramic views over the English Channel. Its vast network of tunnels, gun emplacements, and casemates house exhibitions spanning Stone Age Sussex through to WWII, including a recreation of a Blitz air-raid shelter, a D-Day planning room, and immersive Home Front displays.
