Exploration inside of
St Helens sea fort, a palmerston fort located in the
Solent off the coast of the
Isle of Wight
Date of visit 21-08-2016. We started our approach before dawn wadding out up to ours waists in the water.
Once we arrived a the fort we then had to assent the rusty ladder up to the top of the fort, awkwardly having to climb around the cage at the top.
Once on top of the fort to our suprise we discovered a hatch to the inside.
Once inside we found a large
network of tunnels.
This is extremely dangerous and I would not recommend anyone to attempt this.
The fort was built between 1867 and
1880
Each year in August, there is a mass walk out and around the fort.
During this spring tide the causeway appears from the sea upon which the original materials were carried out from the shore at
St Helen's Old Church, where there was formerly a quarry.
Access is from this
point, but also along the spit from
Bembridge.
