Martello Tower 3 , ROC post site 1 & Coastal defense
Date: March 2021
Location Folkstone
Public or Abandoned: Public
Demolished: No
The roc post back dates to 1961 but closed not long after being opened because it moved location ,
The martello tower is a small round fort that is dotted all over the UK that had two floors in it.
We then headed up to Folkstone to go see Martello tower 3, iv known about this Martello tower for a long time just didn’t know too can walk up to it.
Once we got to the carpark, we got out of the car and made our way up to the Martello tower, unfortunately, the Martello tower was locked up, when exploring around the Martello tower turns out there also a roc post next to it called “ Site 1” but again very sealed up.
The little wonder around that area was nice, I had a quick look on maps and notice there was more to the site than just a Martello tower & roc post there was also a few remains of old costal defense building, One building had been converted into a cost guard watchtower and the other two just sit a little down the pathway
We made our way down to the other two defense buildings, Once was fully sealed up with no way looking in and the second one was a bit graffitied up but open
Time was getting on a bit so we called it a night as it starting to get a bit cold and our little one was tired
Overall was a fun few hours in Folkstone looking at all the Martello tower, Roc post, and Costal defence, and are little one enjoyed it to
