Cawsand Fort

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cawsand Fort is sited just above the picturesque ex-smuggling village of Cawsand in Cornwall. It is an 1860s Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom fort built on the site of a 1779 battery to mount about 10 guns to cover the western entrance to Plymouth Sound by the breakwater. Released by the MoD in 1926 it remained derelict until it was converted into residential accommodation.
