Culver Battery
Culver Battery sits at the eastern tip of the Isle of Wight, a Victorian coastal fort built to guard the approaches to the Solent against the threat of French invasion. The clifftop setting is breathtaking, with panoramic views across the English Channel and Spithead, and the battery's heavy gun emplacements survive as a striking reminder of nineteenth-century coastal defence. It's a fascinating, windswept spot with real military drama in its bones.
