.co.ukFort Clonque
In December 2006, a group of us travelled to the Channel Island of Alderney to stay in a Victorian Fort, Fort Clonque. It was as awesome as it sounds.
We travelled there by what appeared to be a flying bus from Southampton, direct. The Fort is separated from the mainland by a causeway that can be underwater at high tide, so we were sure to take the following table (although it wasn't actually ever covered):
