Weymouth Tourist Attractions - Portland Castle
Built to defend Weymouth against possible French and Spanish invasion, Portland Castle has survived largely unaltered. Its squat appearance is typical of the castles built by Henry VIII in the early 1540s. Portland Castle offers accessibility for all – there are audio tours and ‘Touch Tour’ for the visually impaired. And, as well as hands-on displays, you can even come face-to-face with Henry VIII in the Great Hall. Visit the website.
