Southsea: Castle Southsea: Castle No Data

Description


Built under the orders of Henry VIII to protect the English coast (along with, amongst others Deal and Walmer in Kent and Pendennis and St Mawes in Cornwall). It is thought that from somewhere near here Henry watched the Mary Rose sink as she left port. Today the castle is only open to visitors during the summer months, in winter the cafe is open so you can cross the drawbridge and see inside the initial outer battlements, but not get into the keep
