Welcome
to Fort Amherst
Europe's
Largest Surviving Napoleonic Fortress
Fort
Amherst is Britain's best surviving example of a Napoleonic Fortress
and is of international historical importance.
Its
principle purpose was to protect the former Royal Dockyard at
Chatham from a land based attack.
The original defences, over 3 kilometres in length, totally enclosed
the Dockyard and the village of Brompton.
Today
Fort Amherst still has an important role to play as it forms a
major part of Chatham's bid for World Heritage Site status.
Over
300 years of military history await your exploration.
