Fort Amherst has been described by English Heritage as the most complete Napoleonic Fortification in the UK and there's a large part that's still unrestored.  The Heritage Members of the Amherst Heritage Centre have been commissioned to create five booklets highlighting the facinating military and social history of the Fort.  Funded by the Local Heritage Initiative the booklets will support future educational visits
