ive had a few trips here and visited quite a few places.

st martins deep shelter.
this deep shelter was part of the western heights gun battery, which was built in 1877, and was equipped with 3 ten inch and 2 six inch RML guns. The guns were changed in the second world war.

i take it these areas are off the general tourist area, did that a few years ago, history on top of history in those cliff.
Love the pics, and the fx
 
yeah pretty much, but if you wanned to see em, youd just have to wonder around various fields looking for holes :D
