Western heights detached bastion
Date of visit 7-08-2017
Location: Dover
As we continued with our Dover tours, we headed towards Western Heights to explore the Watched Bastion. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was a good little adventure and interesting to see. The locals refer to it as "Smokey," and you may encounter them in the area.
The Western Heights are considered the most impressive fortifications in Britain, built between the 18th and 19th centuries to protect the key ports of Dover. By the 20th century, it had become the strongest fortification in the country.
