Crownhill Fort
Plymouth's best kept secret - Most people hardly notice Crownhill Fort as they go past, it is so well concealed from the outside world and this was exactly the intention when it was built in the 1860s. You can learn the story of the fort and climb the ramparts with their commanding views. Brought back to life with sound effects and a daily cannon firing you will love the unrestricted access to all parts of the fort and the rabbit warren of passages and tunnels waiting to be discovered and explored.
