Amazing place full of military history, lots to explore with amazing views. Didnt get to do the tunnels as ticketed and full today, but an excellent reason to return. The grounds are free to visit, so a real must. Lovely cafe well priced and food is good. Nice to find out that it serves breakfast, too.

Great place for a visit, a great tunnel tour and such a nice walk to the top of the fort. (Possibly the best view you can of Chatham, if there is such a thing) There is so much history around

Brilliant tour of the tunnels with Neil on a sunny day in March. Really interesting! Good cafe on site too.

At last a decent cafe!! And of course the fort itself which is so full of history and so much to see..views across medway are fantastic. Its free but book ahead for the tunnels. Definitely worth doing the tunnel tour, we had Eddie as our guide. What a charming gentleman and so knowledgeable. Thank you Eddie. Play space for kids and you can download the quest app to follow a trail. Back to the cafe though. Lovely friendly staff and we had an excellent lunch - tuna mayo cucumber sandwich on brown and a bacon brie toastie for my daughter (which she said was one of the best she's tasted). Thanks to the ladies in the cafe too. Would be nice if they had some postcards in the cafe/shop.

Really good value for money. Access to the site is free, tours of the tunnels are charged. There is a cafe and some climbing apparatus for children. Really good value and the guide on our tunnel tour was excellent. Will go again and take a picnic. Fantastic views over Rochester, Strood, Frindsbury

What a wonderful place, it's vast so allow plenty of time. We will be going back in the spring for the guided tunnel tour.

Great place for families to visit. The Guild for the Tunnel tour got all the children involved and was very well informed. The grounds surrounding the Tunnels are well kept and lots of lovely spots for a picnic. We would definitely return!

Absolutely fantastic place steeped in history and fantastic walks and view's from the top this is a must if in the area 100%and the cafe on site is a must for breakfast very tasty great portions and price fab and staff all lovely.. will definitely be back one day to do the tunnels x

We came for a tour of the tunnels and what a treat. Our guide Barney was brilliant and involved the children keeping everyone captivated with the history right through to World War II. Perfect for a military historian. Lovely views and so much to see, would definitely come back. The cafe and grounds are perfect for a day out too.

Lovely few hours wandering the grounds and exploring the grounds. Didnt do the tunnel tour but had a lovely walk and read all the info boards etc. Lovely cafe with reasonably price snacks. Ample parking which was free today but normally ANPR controlled by private firm. Friendly staff. Will be visiting again and next time will book a tunnel tour ( bookable online online)

We prebooked the tour online, which was 2 hours plus a bonus unofficial 20 minutes in the grounds with Steve. He was an excellent tour guide in giving very interesting info throughout. It truly was a great value as tickets were comparatively inexpensive. Walking paths were pretty easy, though a few flights of stairs, and we didn't find the tunnels claustrophobic. Facilities were fine - there was ample parking, and a decent cafe and toilets that weee not fancy, but clean and dog friendly.

Thoroughly recommend taking the kids along for a day out! Free to roam around the grounds which the kids absolutely loved seeing all the canons but the tunnels are worth buying tickets for. Des was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, it’s the longest 5 boys have kept quiet! Thank you Fort Amherst, we will be back!

Beautiful views of Medway overlooking fort hamerst Chatham Kent!! Lots of ways to get into this area!! Wheelchair access through most of the area!! There's a allotment up here that's run by volunteers!! There's a cafe! And it surrounds the old Brompton barrack/new housing estate!!

Great weekend at the fort, for the Easter family fun and fantasy weekend, war games and trade stands inside the front, Vikings and Pirates camping outside, and all sorts of characters walk around, from Batman to Captain Jack Sparrow

Had a brilliant tour with Saturday Steve, he was so knowledgeable and made the tour great fun, it was such a good couple hours he interacted with us all an engaged with the children on the tour too letting them join in finding cannons an carrying torches, thanks Saturday Steve an Fort Amherst such a worth while tour and worth every penny.

Fort Amherst is an amazing place to visit with a long and interesting history. The grounds are free to walk around and can be very beautiful on a sunny day. The tunnel tours are a must but check before you go as they do a lot of filming there and tunnels are often closed to the public for this reason.
