OPPORTUNITY: Coastal towers and other evidence of military archaeology, even those that cannot be visited, could be enhanced by the inclusion of a thematic tour route to be taken by land or sea. Information panels placed outside the structure might be sufficient to mark their presence, describing their historical and architectural features.
