Cliff End Battery

Cliff End Battery (map reference ) is a battery located on the west coast of the Isle of Wight overlooking Fort Albert. It is one of the many Palmerston Forts built on the island to protect it in response to a perceived French invasion. Construction of the battery began in 1862 and was completed by 1868 at a cost of £32,714. Today much of the land is used as a site for holiday bungalows.
