Culver Battery, Artillery battery in Bembridge, England.
The coastal defense structure contains two concrete emplacements designed for 9.2-inch guns, positioned at the eastern edge of the Isle of Wight.
The military installation, completed in 1906, operated through both World Wars and remained an active defense position until its closure in 1956.
The National Trust maintains this military heritage site, which stands as an example of early 20th-century British coastal fortification systems.
Visitors can access the exterior sections of the battery throughout the year, while the underground magazines remain sealed for safety reasons.
The battery underwent experimental weapons testing in the late 1920s and 1930s, serving as a development site for new artillery control systems.
