About

Crownhill Fort is amongst the best preserved of the UK's Victorian defences. It is owned and managed by the Landmark Trust, a charitable organisation that rescues and restores historic buildings. There is holiday accommodation within the former Officers Quarters and many of the former military buildings are let to a community of small businesses. The Fort has a small visitor operation that hosts monthly public open days and pre-booked visits for schools, groups and societies. There are occasional special events during the year including bat walks, gun firing and dining.
