About
Not only does Battery Gardens boast one of the most panoramic views in the bay, it is also a Scheduled Monument. The history of the site dates back to the 1580's but it was most significantly used as a World War II Emergency Coastal Defence Battery. Many of the structures and emplacements from this period are still in existence and are maintained by a team of dedicated volunteers.
The Battery Heritage Education Centre & Museum is open on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 2.00pm – 4.00pm between March & October. There are also a number of Special Event Days which run on various Sundays throughout the summer. These run from 11am-4pm and feature guided tours of the grounds, extra displays and vehicles, reenactors in period uniforms and blank firing displays.
Dogs welcome in the museum on a lead!
