This is the most westward of the Kent & Sussex Martello Towers. With part of its moat covered over, it is now the town's museum, run by volunteers and open mainly on Sundays, but a bit more frequently in the holiday season.

The Martello Tower is the home of the Seaford Museum. It was built near the end of the Napoleonic wars and never saw any action. This is the dry moat area. The other half of the moat has been covered in and houses most of the museum. The Museum has recently been given money to improve access to its displays, with a ramped bridge over this area and a lift within a cavity in the Tower's wall.
This bridge has been built, after a lot of negotiation with the historic conservation authorities, to give easier access to Seaford Museum, for people with mobility problems. The existing entrance led to a flight of quite steep stone steps, inside this Napoleonic gun tower.
