Fort Clifton is a small Civil War earthwork park on a wooded bluff above the Appomattox River—good for landscape and historical shots: river vistas, timbered ridgelines, earthwork profiles and interpretive signs. Accessible via a small parking lot off Conduit Rd; no fee. Best at golden hour, fall color and misty mornings. Trails are short but uneven; wear boots. Weekday mornings have few visitors.
