Went here today to witness a stunning sunrise. Obviously the museum wasn't open but the cannon was there and the light house was lit up.
Took some stunning photos of the sunrise over the ocean, very quiet, managed to park up easily and enjoy the most beautiful of scenes.
I encourage anyone to expe
What an amazing place!
We stumbled across it by mistake. Such a unique place, run by volunteers who also dress up in period clothing and even sing songs from the war on a little stage.
Loads of guns, tanks, artillary, cannons and other buildings.
There is a fantastic little cafe too, which has l
Nice day out, the food in the cafe is cheap and a good value for money. The staff is very friendly and the chaps in the gun exhibition are very knowledgeable. But the museum is small and some of the exhibits are falling into disrepair. You may also have a hard time finding parking.
Amazing place. Hartlepool is a real gem.Headland,crimdon Dean beach,marina,the port. I did not realise Hartlepool,Whitby & Scarborough were all bombarded by the Germans on 16th December 1914. The Battery is the only battlefield in UK ww1! Wow

Very friendly and helpful staff.
Highly recommend a visit

Once again an excellent visit. Was a cold drizzly day but our hot chocolate and bacon sandwiches soon remedied that. The shed pods for a cafe are a great idea. Out of the breeze with blankets on our knees.

What a hidden gem this is. Hartlepool harbour and marina is well worth a visit,but venture further to the historic pointlans and find this great little museum.
The story of the bombardment of Hartlepool is very sad and tells of the folly of war, and the stunning sea views and striking military memor
