Come and enjoy a guided tour of Slough Fort, a Victorian Fort overlooking the Thames at Allhallows! The tours are run between March and November 2025
Hear about the history of this site and how it is being restored for future generations to enjoy. The tour lasts between 1.5-2 hours. We kindly ask that all those who do wish to attend arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.
Entrance to Slough Fort for Guided Tours is via Haven Holiday Park, Allhallows. We ask that all visitors drive past the Slough Fort sign and enter the Haven site, and ask for directions at the Gatehouse. They will be able to direct you to the Car Park, and from there it is just a short walk up to the Fort.
For tours only if you are using SAT NAV, the postcode is ME3 9QD if you are using what3words use chosen.spark.iron
Fort grounds access opportunities
The fort grounds only are available at selected days/times to view . The idea is to let the public view the grounds with the thought that if you are interested in learning more you will book yourself on either a Wednesday tour or Sunday tour. There are numerous picnic tables around the site for you to enjoy.
The grounds will be open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between the hours of 10am and 4pm via the pedestrian gate within the Haven holiday park.
If you visit the grounds, please take note of the signage around the grounds, do not climb fencing to access areas that are fenced off for a reason, there may be a steep drop that you are not aware of that may incur injury if crossed. Slough Fort Preservation Trust take no responsibility for members of the public that ignore the signage.
The grounds are open from the beginning of our season, 10th March 2025 until the end of October 2025, with the occasional shutting of the grounds should there be machinery carrying out maintenance where it would be a safety hazard to have the public on site whilst this is carried out. The grounds will re open from March 10th 2025, until October 31st 2025 this year
