Fort Burgoyne, Military fort in Guston, England.
Fort Burgoyne stands on high ground near Dover, featuring stone walls, earth-covered casemates, and a central parade ground with surrounding defensive structures.
Built between 1862 and 1869, the fort formed part of a defensive network protecting Dover's naval base from potential French invasions during the Victorian era.
The fort changed its name from Castle Hill Fort to honor General Sir John Burgoyne, reflecting the military traditions of commemorating distinguished commanders.
The Land Trust currently manages the fort, which requires advance arrangements for visits due to ongoing conservation work and safety considerations.
The fortification maintains its original 35 gun positions on the ramparts, along with intact East and West Wing Batteries connected by underground passages.
