Redan Hill Gardens and Play Area, Aldershot
Redan Hill Play Area is a small play area in Aldershot that is a short walk from Redan Hill Fortifications, which is a reconstructed military fort with a 32-pounder cannon.
Redan Hill Fortifications are a partial reconstruction of a training redoubt that was originally built here in 1856.
This fort was used for training until the 1860s, when it was cut through by the railway.
The Cannon
At Redan Fort you can see a 32-pounder cannon, the structure of the fortifications and a tree covered hill.
Finding Redan Fort
To find the fort, cross Redan Road and you will see a road going up a small hill with a black and yellow barrier.
The fort is at the top of the hill. The walk takes a few minutes and the hill is not steep.
