Masterplan aims to boost tourism numbers at Camden Fort Meagher

A masterplan is to be prepared to boost tourism to one of the finest remaining examples of a classical coastal artillery fort in the world.

Cork County Council, which is in charge of Camden Fort Meagher, near Crosshaven, is seeking to appoint a consultancy team to draw up the plan for the fort which was originally constructed in the 17th century.

The council and local volunteers have already put a considerable amount of work into restoring the fort as a visitor centre housing a number of military exhibits.
