Our Portland Castle Adventure |

Overlooking Portland Harbour in Dorset stands one of Henry VIII's finest coastal forts, built in the early 1540s to protect against French and Spanish invasion. The castle and its curator provided a stimulating afternoon of excitement for the year 5-6's who experienced life without all the home comforts we are used to today. Whether pretending to be a soldier loading his canon to protect against enemy invasion or attempting to make butter in the Tudor kitchen, everyone involved seemed to leave our afternoon of adventure inspired about life in medieval times.
Thank you English Heritage for providing an amazing interactive experience for us all.
