About Us

Get involved with lots of exciting activities bringing different chapters of the Down's history to life, including searching for pottery remains at the site of the Roman temple, dressing up as an officer at the World War II fort and having a go at our bouncing bomb experiment game.

At 11am on both days, you can join a guided tour of the Down, beginning at the café and finishing at the Palmerston Fort. It will last around 90 minutes.

Activities are free. Usual car park fee applies (free for National Trust members).
