Historic WWII offshore defense platforms near the English coast, now derelict relics symbolizing mid-century military engineering.
Tips from the community
If you ever wondered what it would look like if the alien crafts from War of the Worlds landed at sea, then just visit the Maunsell Forts (or Red Sands Forts), because this spot is pretty much just that. These eerie metal monsters were once defence towers built to protect the UK during World War II. Now, they’re creepy, rusted metal beasts that loom over the sea watching you from across the water. If you want to see them for yourself, head to Southend-on-Sea and stay at the Shoeburyness Hotel. You can also get a few drinks nearby at the aptly-named Old Garrison.
