🕵️‍♂️ Explore a REAL Napoleonic-era fort

Just a stone’s throw from Dymchurch Amusements sits Martello Tower No. 24, a restored 1806 defensive fort built to fend off a Napoleonic invasion! Let the kids climb inside, spot the replica cannon, and imagine what life was like 200 years ago.

🎯 It’s one of only THREE Martello towers open to the public in the UK - and a perfect addition to your family day out at the seaside.

🚫 No parking at the tower, so park in town and stroll over.

💡 Fun fact: It’s made from half a million bricks - and they’re not round, they’re elliptical! 👀
