Coalhouse Fort Park

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 the ranger at Coalhouse Fort for a guided walk to explore the park and foreshore, discovering wildlife along the way and visit the park’s northern side, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. 

Wednesday 22 July, 11am. Meet outside the fort gates near café.  This event is FREE, just turn up, no need to book

The one and half hour walk includes entrance to the fort, including the viewing of some rooms.
