Penlee Battery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penlee Battery is a nature reserve lying on the coastal headland of Penlee Point, in southeast Cornwall.

The site was formerly a fort, and some gun emplacements remain from this.

It is famous among dragonfly enthusiasts as the site where Britain's first Green Darner dragonfly was found, in 1998.[1][2]
