Situated on the north shore of the island and originally built to guard the Solent, what remains is now a country park for all to enjoy. Spend a day exploring the parkland, woodland walks and shore where you can watch the shipping go by. From Easter to October there are additional attractions including a planetarium, model railway and archaeology centre. Verdi's cafe is great for a refreshment stop before you continue your day. Ample parking is available and is free. A saver ticket can be purchased for the attractions.
