Coalhouse Fort
Coalhouse Fort was built between 1861 and 1874 – partly under the direction of General Gordon (of Khartoum) – and was one of a number of forts built to fortify the Thames estuary. It stands within a large area of parkland and features several World War 2 gunnery posts.
As part of the Reanimating Coalhouse Fort project, a series of free ‘Walks in the Park’ are being run to help people explore the park and discover more about the historic attraction.
Join a fascinating Bat Walk at Coalhouse Fort Park and discover the night’s coolest little fliers up close. The Bat Walk takes place Thursday 2 July. See and hear these amazing creatures, learn facts, and enjoy a fun evening under the stars. It starts at 9pm and runs until 10.30.
This is a free event but booking is essential
