Isle of Grain Battery

The Isle of Grain is not on the Saxon Shore Way, so I missed it when I started my coastal walk. I want to explore the mid-19th century offshore gun tower at the mouth of the River Medway. It is only accessible at low tide so this means a very early drive over and then back home in time for breakfast.

The tower battery with the Prospector 1 oil rig berthed at Sheerness in the background.
It only takes one hour for the retreating tide to reveal the path.
The steps are safer inside.

  1. Wow…what a great adventure…we will have to try that walk now that they have extended the English coastal path to include the Isle of Grain.. we have done the SSW and filled in most of the gaps where the SSW takes you inland…fantastic photos again Tony
