Princess Caroline's Battery
Upper rock nature reserve
10 min
Princess Caroline’s Battery was constructed in 1732 as a artillery battery, named after the third daughter of King George II.
In 1871, the battery featured a 9-inch rifled muzzle loading gun, with an Elswick Ordnance Company carriage and platform. In 1905, the battery was refurbished to accommodate a 6-inch Mark VII gun that was installed on top of the magazine.
Today the battery makes a great viewing platform and is home to the Military Heratage Centre, holding items dating back to the 18th century.
