Date:   May 2015

Location: Portsmouth

delmoished - NO 

For the most part of the fort, you can explore the remains by walking around the

 sea lines. However, to see the casemates and other parts of the fort, you need to

 around the site.


The fort was built in the 18th to 19th century to protect Portsea, as Portsmouth

 was a key naval base during wartime..
