LOCAL HISTORY
In 1845 Browndown was the location for a duel between a Lt. Hawkey of the Royal Marines who fired at and mortally wounded Captain Seton of the 11th. Dragoons to settle a matter of honour.
​
On August 13th 1856 it was reported that the 1st and 3rd Regiments of Light Infantry were encamped at Browndown. Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales landed at Browndown and visited the encampment on August 23 1856.
​
The Browndown Battery and the area adjacent to it was used by the Inter-Service Hovercraft Trials Unit from 1966 to 1974 when it was disbanded. 200 Hovercraft Trials Squadron (200 Hovercraft Squadron R.C.T. from 1968) was based there using the SRN6-617 hovercraft.
