Crownhill Fort, Plymouth
Crownhill Fort in Plymouth is one of many Palmerston Follies constructed in the 1860's to defend key locations against French invasion at great expense but never needed. Since 1987 it has been owned and managed by the Landmark Trust and they have restored large parts of the fort to it's original Victorian style and appearance, making it a fascinating place to visit on the open days held on the last Friday of most months except during the winter. Check out their website for more details here:

I never thought this fort was so big. The only view of it I had seen was from seat of my car at the nearest drive-thru MacDonalds which is just round the corner. I will revisit this fort one day when it is open because it looks so amazing. You can walk all around the fort following the VERY deep moat which back in the day you would not want to get stuck in there, its a kill zone!.
