Set on a 45 acre site, Camden Fort Meagher stands as a striking testament to Ireland’s military heritage. Originally constructed to defend the coastline from the French and to safeguard the thriving harbour, the fort now serves as a compelling destination steeped in history.
Visitors can explore the historic site and original gun positions that once formed a vital part of the fort’s defences. The site offers a view of the last anchorage point of the RMS Titanic, evoking a poignant maritime connection. Exhibition rooms reveal layers of the fort’s past, while the underground gunpowder magazine and its dramatic spiral staircase demonstrate remarkable 19th century engineering.
