The staff and management have improved the visitor experience here a lot since re-opening. The silhouette experience was thoughtful and moving, the wind gently blowing the silhouettes on the skyline was an effect that has to be experienced. Its a shame the cafe has greatly reduced its hot food menu, but the only choice baked potatoes are well presented and service is good. A good day out for all age ranges.
Fort Nelson was better than expected - we thought it would just be a Fort and some cannons, which in many respects it was but there was an assault course for the children, lots of rooms, information and tunnels to explore. The cafe was great too, which always helps.
We easily spent two hours with our two young children, without exploring any history or reading much about the big guns / cannons.
It's well worth a visit for young and old alike :)
Went a quiet time of day. Guides were helpful, tours were available. Not of activities going on today but the primary school kids were being taught by period actors.
