The second explore of the day was the Newhaven emergency battery (:

We park in the carpark for Newhaven fort & then walk up the hill to the coastal watchtower,

The watchtower is made up of 3 massive gun holder & then a cost guard lookout

Sadly all the building including the plotting room was sealed up but was nice to just walk around the battery, we even saw someone BASE jump off the Cliffe too

The view from the battery over the beach was lovely as it was also a clear day

its said that the battery was constructed in ww2, the emergency battery is located at the top of the Cliffe and would have housed three guns  .

Since we were already in New Haven, we thought we would check out the Lunette Battery. Even though there isn’t much to see because it’s locked up, it was still a pretty cool way to end the night by chilling by the seafront and checking out the old fort.

The name comes from a French term meaning "crescent moon." The battery is said to have been a detached field fortification, built at a slight angle. It also had two parallel flanks where the powder magazine was housed.
