Independent, not official

Some fort sites cover places run by heritage organisations, such as Manx National Heritage, English Heritage, Cadw and Historic Environment Scotland, or listed by UNESCO. forts.im is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of them. For visiting information, always use the official site.

How the network works

The list of sites lives in network.json. This page and sitemap-index.xml are built from it, and only open sites go into the sitemap index. Each fort site has a link back here at the top of every page.
