A visit to this great fort is the complete day out for all members of the family as it takes you through the ages of its remarkable and unparalleled history in British warfare.

From its time as a fortress of coastal defence built by the illustrious and equally robust King Henry VIII in the mid-sixteenth century, to the Anti-Aircraft defence visited by Sir Winston Churchill during World War 2.

Now it is also the only remaining Napoleonic fort left in Yorkshire.

Fascinating Waxworks Displays

The spectacular historical scenes are to be discovered in our underground labyrinths. A tremendous array of wax-works creations, created and produced by our own unit, interpret Fort Paulls operations and globally momentous connections.

Their enlightening and enchanting features make this attraction one of the most enjoyable amalgamations of education and entertainment around.
