Why it's Wildland
4.0A Victorian fort on the north Kent coast, where advertised guided tours take visitors through restored rooms, up to the roof, to a gun position and into an underground magazine.
Slough Fort offers a distinctive chance to explore the rooms and defensive spaces of a Victorian coastal fort. Its appeal rests on the guided exploration and the fort’s physical fabric; arrange access with the Preservation Trust before setting out.

The underground East magazine — The advertised tour ends in the East magazine underground, a specific interior feature worth asking about when booking.
Alternative for visitors unable to climb stairs — The event listing says a recording of the tour is available in the education and lecture room for visitors unable to climb stairs. Confirm availability and access arrangements for your chosen event.
When to go
