a peninsula

south of Felixstowe lying between the North Sea and the Orwell Estuary. King Henry VIII commanded the first fortifications to be built at Landguard to defend Harwich. Defences


have come and


gone, changed and developed to counter


ever evolving


threats from abroad. Today the present Grade 1 listed 18thC Fort is bordered on one side by a vegetated shingle spit designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and on the


other by the busiest container Port


in the UK. Housed in


the Ravelin block is the Felixstowe Museum, whilst the Landguard Bird Observatory is situated atop one of the Fort’s prominent outer gun batteries. This juxtaposition of giant ships and


cranes, wildlife


and history merge here into one unique but ever changing landscape at the southern most tip of Suffolk. Commenting on the award, Landguard Project Officer Paul Grant said: “We want to build on the amazing work that’s been done by our dedicated volunteer groups and there are exciting plans and ideas for Landguard’s future. First however we need to make sure we have the right structure and resources in place to make the most of new opportunities. So it’s great that the National Lottery Heritage Fund is supporting us with a grant from its Resilient


Heritage


Fund towards shaping our future.”
