Beacon Hill is a derelict fort facing south-east and on the south side of the Orwell Haven - a combined estuary of the rivers Orwell and Stour. The estuary was first fortified in Roman times and the fort last saw service as coastal artillery defence during WWII. At the southern end, the promenade loops round Cornwallis Battery to join Dovercourt beach to the east.
