Nothe Fort

The award-winning Nothe Fort stands proud at the entrance to Weymouth Harbour

The Nothe Fort was built by the Victorians to protect Portland Harbour, and is one of the best preserved forts of its kind. Nothe Fort is located at the entrance to Weymouth Harbour and is a labyrinth of underground passageways and outdoor areas with stunning views of the Jurassic coastline.

The history of the Fort is explained through the many displays, exhibits and audiovisual facilities on the ramparts, gun decks and underground passageways.

You don't have to be a military enthusiast to enjoy the Nothe Fort. It is a great day out for all the family whatever the weather - but beware, the fort is also haunted!
