    Hiking

    The fort itself is now split into private dwellings, so there is no access inside the courtyard. However, you can still walk around the outer embankment, and the fairly large (free!) car park makes this a good place to start for an exploration of West Wight.
    The Golden Hill Fort was a barracks facility in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England, built in 1859 by the Royal Commission on the Defense of the United Kingdom as part of the Palmerston Defense to reinforce defense at the western end of the Isle of Wight Wight, England. Erected in hexagonal form, it housed 8 officers and 128 men and had its own hospital.

    Hiking

    A gentle walk for all users. Pushchair friendly, gentle for older dogs and persons. Either a gentle small walk or go off track for additional sight seeing pathways.
