I have been to this before ( click here )  and have always found it an interesting place to go for some reason we was up early, so we thought we head over to Gravesend , was a nice 40 min walk down the saxon sure to the fort , once we was there it was pretty empty , but people waling by after 20 mins of being there kids turn up on there dirt bikes.

It said that fort is Now a disused fort  that was built in 1860, it was also said that it was built to protect the themes from see attacks,  it said it was disarmed between 1896-1907 , it was abandoned after ww2 and demolished in 1960s

Today, we decided to explore a fort that we had seen many times online. We were excited to see what it was like in person, but unfortunately, we were not able to fully explore it. The tunnels were flooded and inaccessible.

The fort was built in 1860 to protect the Thames from sea attacks. It was disarmed between 1896 and 1907, and was abandoned after World War II. It was eventually demolished in the 1960s.
