Fort Amherst Tunnels ( Fairy event ) - Medway

Fort Amherst Tunnels 

 Date:  April

Location: Medway 

Public or Abandoned: public ( Tours) 

Demolished: No  

I got invited to the fort Amherst fairy event that is held once a year at the fort, the event runs inside the tunnels and also out on the grounds, over the years I have explored the fort but never been in the tunnels, the tunnels were pretty interesting and very decorated for the fairy event with lots going on and stall holders.

over the event was great fun.

So it said that in 1880 militia regiment was sent to Chatham to dig tunnels and the Fort Amherst tunnel was the result of their digging. the tunnels have also been featured in a number of different films such as "the mission ", sherlock Homes, darkest hour, and much more.

This was a revisit for me I first explored this site back in 2019 but missed out on the battle HQ, but I was in the area so i thought why not let check out the site again, 

I'm not too keen on this site prob because of how open it is, But from my visit in 2019 and this visit in 2023 a lot of things have happened, they have really cleaned up the site, and some buildings have defo been demolished so makes me wonder if they have something planned for the site,

We quickly zoomed around the site,

the battle HQ was my first ever visit, tbh it the same style as another battle HQ I have explored in the past but was not in it for long as i did fall down the steps inside due to them being a tad slippy

So it said that RA Lympne was built around 1916 and expanded in 1939 it said that the site was used in both world wars  

the site closed in 1946 but was used as a civil airport up until 1984 

The site is now home to the zoo
