Angle
Strategically place at the entrance to the waterway, Angle has several notable military defence features.
Examples such as Thorn Island and Chapel Bay Forts.
The East Blockhouse was begun in the reign of Henry VIII and in the early 20th century saw the development of batteries for heavy guns.
Thorn Island
Other interesting features include the lifeboat station, a medieval fortified residence known as the Tower House, a dovecote, 15th century Angle Hall and rare examples of the Norman strip system of farming. Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered medieval stone lined cist burials at West Angle Bay which lends credence the suggestion that the original settlement was on the headland and not inland as it is today.
