What visitors say
Great place to look round. A lot of thought put into the exhibits. Is all accessible with lift and ramps. Plenty of parking close by. Cafe serving drinks and freshly prepared hot and cold food. Surrounded by beautiful gardens/parkland. Dog friendly! Allow 2-3 hours.

No visit to Weymouth is complete without heading up to the Nothe Fort. Been going to Weymouth for the past 20 years and every time I look forward to heading back to the Fort. The Fort offers an annual pass for the price of one visit which we paid £11 which is great value especially if you're there for a week. It's a great place to find out about the history of Weymouth and Portland which is very interesting. So much to see over 3 levels including, the ghost tunnels and the nuclear bunker. Highly recommend this amazing place to all. Staff and volunteers are very friendly and helpful.

Brilliant that this historic site has been saved and is an informative day out. Dog friendly. Pirate week when we visited. Really cool temperature inside the buildings despite being hot outside. Entry tickets valid for a year. Would recommend
