Froward Point Battery and Lookout Station

Highlight • Monument

The Brownstone Battery at Froward Point was built in 1940 and housed two ex-navy 6" guns. The bases of which you can still explore. The terrain here is very steep and therefore the magazine where the shells where kept was higher than the guns and an incline plane with railway tracks was used to transport the ammunition to the guns. This along with the ammunition stores and living quarters are still visible although most are gated. Further down the hill are the old searchlight houses and look out points.
At the top of the hill is the still functioning coastguard lookout station.
