Hurst Castle
Hurst Castle was part of our coastal defences from Tudor times to WW2. It’s only accessible by shingle bank from Milford on Sea, a lively seaside village with a shingle beach, or by passenger ferry from Keyhaven (runs April to October), a small hamlet with a pub and yachting harbour. There are bird reserves and walks across marshes around here. Hurst Castle is dog-friendly. Entry is free to English Heritage members.
