Crownhill Fort
Crownhill Fort was built in the 1860s as the centrepiece of Plymouth's North Eastern Defences. Designed to protect the Dockyard from a landward invasion.
Advances in artillery soon made the Fort obsolete but it remained in military hands for over a century. Now owned by The Landmark Trust, the Fort is home to 15 small businesses, a holiday apartment and an education centre. Crownhill Fort is open to the public on selected days throughout the year and to groups by appointment at any other time.
Admission & prices
Admission to public open days costs £5 for adults and £3 for children. Car parking (£2.50 per vehicle) is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Group visits start from £120. This includes up to three hours with a dedicated tour guide and a cannon firing at the end of your visit.
