Love visiting here at this time of year, as I love seeing the bluebells every yer. Each year I used to visit with my now deceased wife, a great memory.

Tilbury Fort is possibly the finest example of a bastioned 17th Century artillery fortress in the Britsh Isles. Today visitors can visit the original Guardhouse, Chapel and Gatehouse buildings as well as the huge eighteenth century gunpowder magazines. You can also explore the Victorian underground magazine passages and imagine what life was like for a gunner in the late nineteenth century. There is a free audio guide, museum, exhibition and gift shop. Hot drinks and a range of light refreshments are available in the shop. There is an indoor seating area in the old Guardhouse and picnic tables and benches outside.

This was our first experiance of visiting an EH property with Covid restrictions in place. You need to book a date and time online. The day prior to our visit we booked for 13:00hrs and the website showed limited availability, however on the day a family arrived just after us and booked a slot there and then. Car parking is directly outside the fort. There is a small shop but no cafe. There was plenty of space for everybody, many families were enjoying picnics. Its agreat place for the jkids to run around, and they can play on the guns. Some of the buildings which would normaly be accessable have been closed off as social distancing isnt an option. Overall an enjoable visit but I do wish EH would get the bridges repaired, so you can appreciate the fort from tandward side.

We regularly come here when we're down visiting family. The play park is big and plenty to do and is now starting to be maintained by the volunteers and given a lick of paint. As for the volunteers, what a bunch of incredible people. The food is excellent and well priced. Icecreams are good value. You can make a full day here as the kids (6 and 4) will happily play for 4 plus hours in the sand and then if you feel like a stroll the prom is good and a nice view of the docks. Just a note you may be worried about the sand and being mucky but in 5 years of coming here I have found any nasties in there.
