Has anyone ever been to thet MAUNSELL FORTS? If not does anyone know how one would even begin to plan a visit and exploration?

Further to exploring a few locations on my 'bucket list' just the day before, I was now heading to my main reason for being in Portsmouth - a permission visit tour to the Underground Headquarters of Fort Southwick. An earlier drive around the area, truly aggravated me at just how many awesome...

This has only been covered a couple of times on here, and each time it was an overgrown mess with a lot of areas blocked off. However, Drake's Island is currently open for visits, there's a tour operating, and there's a company running Airsoft Skirmishes. The marshals are happy for you to go...

Roped into a family holiday in Amsterdam visiting in-laws, I was soon looking around for something to explore. I don’t know about the rest of the Netherlands, but Amsterdam seems to be an urbex desert - everything is far too tidy and developed. The only area that looked at all promising was...

First report in a couple years, still been getting out and about but just been very busy with other life admin for reports, got a day at home on the sick twiddling my thumbs so thought i would write summit up about our trip to red sands last year. Did the trip with bigjobs, paradox, riddlers...

History The Maunsell Forts were small fortified towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell.[1] The forts were decommissioned in the late...
