Eastbourne Redoubt, Military museum and coastal fort in Eastbourne, England.
The circular fort measures 224 feet in diameter with thick brick walls, granite facing, and 24 vaulted chambers opening to a central parade ground.
The fortification was constructed in 1805 using five million bricks transported by barge from London to protect against potential Napoleonic invasion of Britain.
The museum displays exhibits about regional military activities through different time periods, including artifacts from the Napoleonic Wars to World War II.
The fort remains open to visitors between April and November, operating daily from 10 AM to 5 PM with free access to the gun platform.
