English Heritage

The castle has the village cricket pitch within its walls and English Heritage permits access to the castle for sponsored and historical events, which you may be lucky enough to witness on your visit. The castle is a credit to Fareham Borough Council and English Heritage who care for it.

All the photographs on these pages were taken on a visit to the fort/castle; the historical and other information came from researching a large number of internet and other resources.

Much of the information regarding the history of Portchester Castle was obtained from the English Heritage publication "Portchester Castle by J.T. Munby" and the bbc's h2g2 site.
