Hartlepool - Heugh Battery Museum: the only First World War battlefield in the UK!

The Heugh Gun Battery was built on the Headland in 1860 to protect the fast growing port of Hartlepool. But in December 1914, the Heugh Battery - and the nearby civilian population - found themselves under fire from German ships. Hartlepool got another battering during the second world war, this time from the air. Planning to visit the Heugh Battery Museum? Top Tips: There's nearby on-street parking in a quiet residental area, or parking bays right outside the museum. The entrance ticket for a family is about the cost of one adult ticket to the cinema. Inside you'll find a nice courtyard cafe, with little sheds for inclement weather. It's a small museum, so won't take all day. If you're travelling from afar, combine a visit to the Heugh Battery Museum with a walk along the seafront at West Hartlepool, admiring the many historic homes and converted places of worship. It's easily accessible from the museum by foot and wheelchair/mobility scooter. West Hartlepool has a little park and a couple of fish and chip shops too for sunny days.
