Welcome to The Official Heugh Gun Battery Visitors Attraction Website
Come and explore a faithfully restored 19th century coastal defence battery. This North-East visitors attraction boasts a unique history, being the only area to have seen ship-to-shore combat during the First World War and through out World War II up until 1956 with the dispanding of the costal artillery forces. The exhibits tell the story of those who lost their lives and the brave men who defended the area.
Visit the original barrack room, now an exciting visitor’s centre, underground magazines, costal artillery and observation tower.
Whilst visiting take a look around the workshop or take a relaxing break in the new coffee shop.
