Encyclopedia > Brean Down Fort

Brean Down Fort was built on Brean Down near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset between 1864 and 1871 on the recommendations of the 1859 Royal Commission. Originally armed with seven 7" RMLs, it was disarmed in 1901, but rearmed with two 6" ex-naval guns during World War II. Recently restored and opened to the public by the National Trust.

Sacred sites further from Glastonbury | Brean Down (521 words)
Brean Down is not well known as a sacred site, and driving to it can be bizarre, since it involves driving through caravan parks and cheap holiday entertainments.
It is worth stopping on the summit of Brean Down, not only for the impressive view, but also the earth energies – this is a fine spot for mystical experiences, especially if you visit at times when other walkers aren't there.
Brean Down is reminiscent of many of the Atlantic headlands you see on the west coasts of Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and a fine contrast to the landscape of Somerset.
