Shorncliffe camp was built in Napoleonic times as a military garrison to help fight off a potential French invasion. Some areas of the site remain untouched and contain a Napoleonic redoubt or fort, and recently uncovered system of First World War trenches, used by soldiers to train before embarking for France from nearby Folkestone harbour. Both features are publicly accessible, and there is car parking by the military cemetery next to the site.
