Fort Brockhurst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fort Brockhurst is one of the Palmerston Forts, in Gosport, England. It is now an English Heritage property.
Fort Brockhurst was designed by William Crossman in the 19th century to protect Portsmouth. With its formidable fire-power, its main purpose was to guard the approach from potential landing areas on the south Hampshire coast.
Although modern life has encroached on the fort, its fabric remains largely unaltered and the parade ground, gun ramps and moated keep can all be viewed.
