Tregantle Fort, Military fort in Antony, England.
The granite fort stands 360 feet above sea level, featuring defensive ditches on three sides and multiple gun positions overlooking the coastline.
Built in 1859 as part of Plymouth's defense network, the fort contained 87 guns and housed up to 14 officers with 423 military personnel until 1903.
The Grade II listed building represents Victorian military engineering through its architectural design and strategic placement within the coastal defense system.
The surrounding grounds allow visitors to examine the 19th-century military architecture while the elevated position provides views of Whitsand Bay.
A military railway with cable incline mechanics transported materials to the fort from Wacker Quay, with some original tracks still visible today.
