Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of Henry VIII's coastal forts, completed in 1544. Hurst Castle occupies a position on a spit of land, projecting into the western end of the Solent. The castle consists of a circular keep with projecting towers, with a large enclosure to landward. Charles I was briefly imprisoned here before his final journey to LOndon and death. Henry VIII's design was updated during the Napoleonic Wars, and the castle was used during WWII.
