Crownhill Fort

Crownhill Fort was built in 1872 as the centrepiece of Plymouth's North Eastern Defences. Designed to protect the Dockyard from a landward invasion, advances in artillery soon made the Fort obsolete. 

Now owned by The Landmark Trust, the Fort is home to 15 small businesses, a holiday apartment, event spaces and an Education Centre. 

Crownhill Fort is open to the public on the last Friday of each month from midday to early evening and to groups by appointment at any other time.
