LANDGUARD

Landguard Fort is to be found on the South side of Felixstowe over looking the entrance to the River Orwell estuary.  The fort we see today is mainly of eighteenth century creation.  At the present time there is a lot of repair work going on, but considering the age of the place it is in remarkable condition.  It was here during the seventeenth century during the reign of Charles 2nd that a invasion by the Dutch was repelled.

It was during August 2001 that we visited the fort.  English Heritage are guardian of this site and I believe when work is complete they will have a little gem of an attraction on their hands here.
