Visited with MarkyMark.

I've had a quick search and unfortunately there's not much information on this little fort on the internet.

Upon reaching the fort it's a bit of a weird sight to see houses here?! Some of the buildings have been converted in to holiday homes, and one of the main buildings has been converted in to a permanent live-in residence.

The lady in the said building was really helpful and let us wander around her garden....

on with the pics...
