A Trip to Landguard Fort, Felixstowe, Suffolk - 16th October 2022
Although Nosher and Isobel had only been to Felixstowe a couple of weeks before, Landguard Fort itself had been closed for a maintenance day, so we decide to try again, this time with the boys in tow. It turns out that the two hours we got on the parking ticket wasn't really enough as there's a lot to explore, and the fort also gives a good view over Felixstowe Port, where one of the largest container ships in the world - the Ever Ace - is moored up.

A view through the entrance arch
The luxury of a cast-iron bath
A dude dressed up in 18th-century gear
Fred waits down in a tunnel
Brickwork in a magazine tunnel
In the inner circular courtyard
The inside courtyard of Landguard Fort
Harry looks at stuff in the gift shop
Isobel roams around the English Heritage shop
Harry hugs a giant teddy bear
A clock mechanism, and a big bell
A Maersk container ship is towed up the river
The Ever Ace is loaded and unloaded
Brutalist concrete watchtowers
Inside a former gun room
Red fire buckets line up on a yellow wall
A recreation of a 1940s room
A green Welsh Dresser
More richly-peeling paintwork
Harry gets another hug of the giant teddy bear
Isobel roams around
Harry tries an old rotary-dial phone
An old wireless
Isobel and Fred dress up as soldiers
Harry's still on the phone
A container is plucked off the Ever Ace
Fred walks the shoreline near the port
Harry stands on a wall on Sea Road, Felixstowe
Harry flings stones into the sea
Harry and Fred on a wall by the beach
Fred does the ball-drop game in the Pier arcade
Felixstowe sea front
We stop off in the chipper for a take-away tea
We eat chips as we walk bvack to the car
