Just another small report that has no use anywhere els
I’m no stranger to cliffe marsh and I only ended up there today as a friend off mine wanted to go up to the fort and see a few other Bits that the marsh has to offer
iv been to all these places before and have documented them in the past but I though I’ll take some fresh photos for a report .
The explore
the explores was pretty simple only fact almost everything was on public right off way - Only odd thing that happens today was it randomly snowed

Cliff fort
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffe_Fort
Cliffe Fort is a disused artillery fort built in the 1860s to guard the entrance to the Thames from seaborne attack. Constructed during a period of tension with France, it stands on the south bank of the river at the entrance to Cliffe Creek in the Cliffe marshes on the Hoo Peninsula in North Kent

Second World War bombing decoy at Cliffe Marshes that was built to deflect enemy bombing from Royal Air Force Gravesend airfield. This was a 'Q-type' night decoy, which displayed a series of lights to simulate an active airfield. It is referenced as being in use from 1941 to 1942. A concrete building survives on this site.
