Fort Dunree, Military museum on Inishowen Peninsula, Ireland.
Fort Dunree Military Museum stretches across a strategic headland overlooking Lough Swilly, featuring coastal artillery pieces and underground bunkers for exploration.
Built in 1812 and remodeled in 1895, the fort remained under British control until 1936 due to its importance in protecting the deep waters of Lough Swilly.
The museum displays the Rockhill Collection and maintains exhibits about military operations through interactive displays and audio-visual presentations.
The museum opens daily from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission prices of €8 for adults, €6 for children and seniors, and €16 for families.
The fort grounds include signposted footpaths leading through natural habitats that support rare wildlife species native to the Inishowen Peninsula.
