Newhaven Fort - East Sussex

 New haven fort 

Date:  September 2022

Location: New haven

Public or Abandoned: Public

Demolished:  No




Just as a spear of the moment thing we decided to hop in the car and drive up to the new haven to go and explore the fort,  The fort cost just under £9.95 per person to get in but that price does include re-entry at any point for the year ( annual pass ).  Driving up to new haven took us a little under 2hrs, and we was glad the weather held out - as we been having rubbish weather recently it sayed dry for all the day - the fort is dog-friendly too so good for your 4 legged friends too - we spent a good 1 1/30 looking around the fort going in and out all the rooms, and then spent another 1 1/30 in the play park that on-site with our toddler who love a play park;') so she was happy when she saw that - 

the fort is easy to access all way round but some the corridors were very small and your 4-legged friend are allowed in all the rooms too apart from the cafe,   They had an Air-raid expedition on at the time of our visit which was pretty well details and very interesting


So it is said that New haven fort was built back in the 19th century and is one of the largest defense systems in Sussex, is also said that Newhaven fort is 1/72 forts that was British Government under Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.

It said that that fort was built in 1862 and took 10 years to build,  Its also said by the end of the 19th century the fort was outdated and needed updating.
