Duncannon Fort is a star shaped fortress, built in expectation of an attack on the area by the Spanish Armanda. There are spectacular views across the estuary to Co Waterford and down to Hook Head. Home to a Toy Museum, Art Gallery, Maritime and Military Museum. Duncannon Fort dates from 1588, built to repel the Spanish Armada, and to stop the pirates plundering the merchant ships of their riches on their way up Waterford Harbour.
