Harwich Redoubt, Circular defensive fort in Tendring, England
The Harwich Redoubt stands as a circular fortification measuring 180 feet in diameter, featuring a protective moat and strategic earthwork defenses.
Constructed in 1808 during the Napoleonic Wars, the fort formed part of a chain of coastal defenses stretching from Sussex to Suffolk to protect England.
The Harwich Society maintains the fort as a military museum, presenting exhibits that detail the evolution of British coastal defense systems through centuries.
The fort welcomes visitors from May through August between 10 AM and 4 PM daily, plus every Sunday throughout the year, with reduced entry fees for children.
The structure contains a specialized stair lift system to the first floor, making military heritage accessible to visitors with mobility requirements.
