Journey to Cleethorpes’ Abandoned WWII Forts

#postandearn #abandonedplaces #coastalhistory #dronephotography #cleethorpesbeach #cleethorpes #lincolnshire Rising like ghostly giants from the Humber Estuary, Bull Sands Fort and Haile Sands Fort are two of England’s most atmospheric coastal relics. Built during World War I to guard vital shipping lanes, these off-limits forts can be admired for free from Cleethorpes Beach—no boat needed! 📸 Why Photographers & Adventurers Love Them: ⚓ Bull Sands Fort - 18 meters of rusted drama. 🌀 Haile Sands Fort - its circular design contrasts hauntingly with the wild North Sea. 🌊 Adventure Essentials: 🌟 Drone it: Soar above their decayed grandeur (check local regulations). 🌟Paddle nearby: Glide around the forts on calm days—keep a safe distance (tides can be treacherous!). 🌟Local pairing: Refuel with award-winning fish and chips at Steels Cornerhouse, just a 5-minute walk from the beach. ⚠️ Safety First: Admire from shore—do not attempt to climb. Respect seabirds nesting in the rusted nooks! 🌅 Free, eerie, and utterly unforgettable. Add these wartime wonders to your coastal bucket list!
