Brixham Battery, Military coastal battery in Brixham, England
The Battery Gardens features two main gun emplacements, observation posts, and military structures spread across 14 acres of coastal land.
Built between June and September 1940 following the Dunkirk evacuation, this coastal defense structure protected the English Channel during World War II.
The Battery Heritage Education Centre preserves military artifacts, documents, and photographs that demonstrate the role of local defense forces.
Visitors can access the Battery Museum on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from March through October, with parking available on Fishcombe Road.
Among 116 emergency batteries constructed in 1940 across the United Kingdom, Brixham Battery remains the most complete surviving structure.
