Tilbury Fort
Tilbury Fort served as the location for a key scene depicting the Ottoman fort where Dr. Maru and General Ludendorff were developing a new gas weapon. The fort was transformed with a large set built on the parade ground.
Tilbury Fort
Tilbury Fort is England’s best example of a 17th-century bastioned fortress, with its complete circuit of moats and outworks. Constructed on the site of a small Tudor blockhouse, originally built under the reign of Henry VIII, the fort was designed to defend the river Thames passage to London. It was nearby that Queen Elizabeth I famously rallied her army awaiting the Armada. Spend a day exploring the magazine houses used to store vast quantities of gunpowder, or enter the bastion magazine passages and experience what it was like for the soldiers who lived there.
Southend
Southend is home to the world’s longest pier, which stretches for 1.33 miles – opt to walk the entire length or hop on the train to the end. Thrill-seekers won’t want to miss Adventure Island, a theme park situated at the north end of the pier. Also home to award-winning Blue Flag beaches, there’s a total of nine to explore with friends and family. Enjoy days out, whatever the weather; spend the day at Sealife Adventure, try an escape room or watch a performance at the renowned Cliffs Pavilion or Palace Theatre.
