    Vandring

    Beautiful vantage point with a magnificent view towards Weymouth. If you're a bit sporty you can also climb up.

    The two story pil box actually has a Royal Observer Corps lookout built on top

    30. oktober 2025

    Vandring

    It was built in 1940–41 of brick and concrete as part of Britain's anti-invasion measures during World War II. Its location provides a commanding view over the approaches to Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour.
    What makes this pillbox particularly distinctive is the Royal Observer Corps (ROC) observation post that was built directly on top of it.
    This combination of a defensive firing position (the pillbox) and an air observation post (the OP) is highly unusual.
    As of 2007, there were reports that the rear supporting wall was in danger of collapse, threatening the integrity of the structure.
