Fortification on Maker Heights The Rame Peninsula is littered with old fortifications and gun emplacements.  Here on Maker heights, overlooking Cawsand Bay they are most dense.  Most of these are covered with trees and bushes but occasionally a wall or buttress pokes out such as the one show in the photograph which was probably part of a gun emplacement from Napoleonic times.

It looks very pretty with the tide in but when the tide is out - which is most of the time - almost all the foreground water is mud flats.  In the background is the River Tamar and Devonport Dockyard.
