A historic round fort, originally Tudor and much adapted and changed right round to the 1960's. A maze of tunnels to explore in the thick walls. Interesting exhibits and great for children to climb around and explore. 2nd floor only accessible via step external steps . Don't miss the local Felixstowe Museum located within the fort but with it's own separate entrance (round to the right when facing the main entrance )

This place was a real surprise as I was expecting it to be quite small but there was loads to see and you could see how it had been used in various eras. Very chilly on the day we visited but well worth it.

Like my grandson, I never tire of visiting Languard Fort. Its history is so interesting - built in the reign of Herry VIII, remodelled and extended a few times, and used for different purposes over the years, even during the first and second World Wars and the Cold War. The displays are excellent and the information boards very informative, supplemented by audio and video recordings which are often triggered as you walk into a room. For children, there is usually a trail for them to follow, spotting things as they go round. Well worth a visit. Remember to check the website for opening times.

Family ticket is £22 for 2x adults and 3x kids. Adults ticket is £8 so not cheap, but we were there for 2 hours and didn't even do the audio tour or dilly dally. Audio tour would be a good idea if you have the time. Meandering staff are very nice and approachable with good knowledge as you would expect. They seem proud of the fort which is nice. Loads of parking. 30mins free, 2 hours £3.50 or 4 hours. Decent cafe nearby is always busy and good walks along the wild beach.

Absolutely the best thing in Felixstowe, super friendly staff and a very well preserved fort with plenty of info about its history plus an optional audio tour for free, however the coffee also tasted like it was from the forts earliest times… had a hint of roast beef…. Added to the experience lol, 10/10
