Nothe Fort

Nothe Fort

Nothe Fort is a Victorian fort with stunning views of the Dorset coast, labyrinthine underground tunnels, guns, models, displays and lots of fun for all the family.

Find out how soldiers lived alongside the giant guns that protected our coast. Discover the Fort’s part in the Second World War. Step inside the Cold War communications room. And see the Nothe Fort Artillery fire their cannon on the second and fourth Sunday of the month.

Our mouse hunt is famous – look out for them all around the Fort!
