Transfer from Tilbury (RM18) to Luton Airport
A one-of-a-kind attraction located in Tilbury is the Tilbury Fort. It is located in the northern part of the town and its main purpose was to defend London from the sea attacks. It was extremely useful during the Anglo – Dutch Wars and the Spanish Armada. Currently, the English Heritage administers the site. The public can visit it year round.
The first fort in Tilbury was constructed in 1539 and it was commissioned by Henry VIII. Its original name was Thermitage Bulwark. The fort was rebuilt and reinforced before the Spanish Armada. Since the late 16th century, the fort was neglected, but it was taken over by the Parliament in the 17th century when its garrison featured 44 soldiers, a governor, 16 matrosses, a lieutenant, a master gunner, one drummer, 4 corporals and an ensign.
The current fort was constructed between 1670 and 1680. The first blockhouse was retained, but the new fort had the shape of a pentagon. The Water Gate, its most important feature, was finished in 1682. Numerous modernisations were made to the fort, but the impressive Water Gate is still visible nowadays.
