Kent Ride to Tilbury Fort.

Sunday, 7th May 2023

Four of us visited Essex, heading to the Tilbury Fort first and on to Hanningfield Bird Sanctuary near Chelmsford for lunch.

The fort is possibly the finest example of a bastioned 17th Century artillery fortress in the British Isles.

Today visitors can visit the original Guardhouse, Chapel and Gatehouse buildings as well as the huge eighteenth century gunpowder magazines.

Can you credit Mike Gallafent with the write up.

Thank you.
