    Tips

    Once the site of Portus Adurni, a Roman fort, the Porchester Castle you see today dates back to the 11th century. This vast defensive site occupies a prominent position within Portsmouth Harbour and has fantastic views southwards. The castle has seen many occupiers over the years including, briefly, the French. You can climb to the top of the keep to get the best views of the busy harbour.

    These days, the castle is under the management of English Heritage and open throughout the year for visitors. To save money on ticket price, book online in advance.
