Review:
Camden Fort Meagher is one of Ireland’s many coastal defense fortifications. It was originally built in the 16th century as a means of defending and protecting the mouth of Cork Harbour - although, much of what you see today dates closer to the 1860s. The fort was initially operated by the British Armed Forces and was then handed over to the Irish Defence Forces in 1938. It continued to be a part of the Irish military installation until it was given to the Cork County Council in 1989. It sat desolately for twenty years before local volunteers restored and developed the fort so that tourists would have a place as such to visit and learn about the local history. It is popular for its exhibits on the Brennan torpedo installation as well as having one of the only resident 9/11 exhibits outside of the United States.
