Portchester Castle dates back to the 3rd century. Despite its far-reaching history, it is one of the best-preserved Saxon shore forts in the country. The towering grey stone walls defended the Solent for hundreds of years.

The castle is managed by English Heritage from 10am - 5pm. Tickets for adults cost £8.70. The courtyard and grounds are a great place to stop for a picnic on a bike Tour.

Not ideal for pure road tyres as rough gravel. For more off road biased tyres is ideal and a very historical location.
