Artillery Hill Walking Tours start in the grassy field near Battery Randol. These guided tours can take as long as two hours depending on the interest level of the visitors, but you may join or leave at any time. Tours go along the main gun line (10 and 12 inch Barbette guns), including down into some of the hallways and storage rooms underneath, walk around and through Battery Benson (2 10 inch Disappearing guns), up through the Ready Tunnel to the underground Cistern. and finally to the HECP. For those that have time, the tour can continue to the Mortar Batteries and the underground Plotting Room there. Bring a flashlight if you can.

Because of the condition of the roads going up the hill we can no longer stage the Military Vehicle show on top of Artillery Hill, or take trucks up and down so we are limited to arranged group tours.
