🏰👻 THE HISTORY OF NOTHE FORT 👻🏰
Standing proudly above Weymouth Harbour, Nothe Fort has watched over the coastline for more than 150 years.
Built in the 1860s as part of Britain’s coastal defence system, the fort was designed to protect Portland Harbour and the surrounding area from potential attack. Throughout its lifetime, soldiers lived and worked within its walls, keeping watch over the sea and preparing for threats that, thankfully, never came.
The fort remained in military use through both World Wars, witnessing decades of activity, change, and countless personal stories. Thousands of servicemen passed through its corridors, gun emplacements, tunnels, and rooms, each leaving behind their own mark on history.
Today, visitors come to explore its fascinating past, but some believe there is more to discover than military history alone…
Over the years, reports of unexplained footsteps, strange sounds, shadowy figures, and unusual experiences have led many to wonder whether some of the fort’s former occupants never truly left.
History, mystery, and the unknown all meet within the walls of Nothe Fort.
