Martello Tower No. 64

Highlight • Historical Site

Tip by

3.55 km

Martello towers are gun towers constructed to defend the vulnerable south eastern coast of England against the threat of ship-borne invasion by Napoleonic forces. Built as a systematic chain of defence in two phases, between 1805-1810 along the coasts of East Sussex and Kent, and between 1808- 1812 along the coasts of Essex and Suffolk, the design of martello towers was based on a fortified tower at Mortella Point in Corsica which had put up a prolonged resistance to British forces in 1793.

Martello tower no 66 survives well, and retains a substantial proportion of its original components and associated features, including its original gun barrel, which is a rare survival amongst martello towers. As one of the surviving examples of a series of low-lying towers, no 66 also provides a significant insight into the strategic integration of the martello tower system. Recognition of its structural and strategic strengths during the 20th century, against a new invasion threat, is represented by the addition of a substantial gun emplacement during World War II.

Sovereign Harbour South Martello Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

Sovereign Harbour South Martello Tower is one of the two Martello towers that are located near the entrance of Sovereign Harbour, a large marina complex in Eastbourne, East Sussex. Martello towers are small defensive forts that were built in the early 19th century along the coast of England and Ireland to protect against a possible invasion by Napoleon. They have thick walls, a circular shape, and a flat roof with a cannon. Sovereign Harbour South Martello Tower is also known as Martello Tower No. 66 and it is a Grade II listed building.

Eastbourne Seafront

Highlight • Cycleway

National Cycle Route 21 runs directly along the seafront and makes for such a good place to ride. Coastal views and up to the hills of the South Downs in the west and no traffic. Bliss.

Eastbourne Marina

Highlight • Settlement

After a 50 nm crossing from France we are now in England. One imagines arriving in good old England a bit differently, like Daniel Defoe. However, the marina looks different than expected, new buildings all around, probably all holiday apartments. Charming nonetheless.
