It was constructed between April and October 1756 at the southern end of the Brompton Lines during the Seven Years’ War, with the primary purpose of defending Chatham Dockyard and the River Medway from a potential French invasion. The fortifications were later significantly expanded during the Napoleonic Wars. Today, Fort Amherst is open year-round as a visitor attraction, offering guided tours through its extensive tunnel complex."
