Redoubt Fortress & Military Museum

This site is currently closed but can be viewed externally. A circular Napoleonic fort built in 1804–10 to resist French invasion, now housing the largest military museum collection in South East England. Collections include the Royal Sussex Regiment (uniforms and medals spanning 300 years), the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars (including a Russian bugle from the Charge of the Light Brigade), a captured German Afrika Korps staff car, and a Gulf War camp. Note: as of 2025, the Redoubt is closed for structural maintenance but reopens for special events and guided talks — check the website for access.
