gun points and dry moat at the drop redoubt fort in Dover

---

The Napoleonic fortress, the drop redoubt fort, is located on the western heights nature trail in Dover, Kent. Constructed in 1700 - 1800s, this fort housed hundreds of soldiers that could be quickly deployed to the coast via the 'grand shaft' (a three tier staircase in a cylindrical building). The area has now become a site of historical and natural interest.
