Penlee Battery
Penlee Battery is a nature reserve lying on the coastal headland of Penlee Point, in southeast Cornwall.
The site was formerly a fort, and some gun emplacements remain from this.
It is famous among dragonfly enthusiasts as the site where Britain's first Green Darner dragonfly was found, in 1998.[1][2]
