Nothe Fort is one of Weymouth's premier visitor attractions offering something for all the family!

Nothe Fort is now daily for our new summer season, 10:30am - 4:00pm

Enjoy the stunning views of the Jurassic Coast from the picnic areas on the ramparts and newly-opened terrace, or go underground and explore the many tunnels and secret passageways beneath the fort, including the spooky ghost tunnel. 

Why not keep the children entertained with the popular mouse hunt. Find the decorated mice throughout the fort to claim a certificate at the end of your visit!

Once done exploring, visit the Fort View Café; it is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake, surrounded by the arched casemates that enclose the parade ground. The gift shop also offers a vast range of products including souvenirs, books, toys, and locally produced food and drink.

The whole fort is dog friendly, meaning that EVERY member of your family can enjoy a day out at Nothe Fort!

"Nothe Fort has always been one of our favourite places. There are so many interesting rooms and we love the tunnels. There is always something different going on. We will be back soon." [Quote from our 100,000th visitor, Dec 2024]

"The staff were all very helpful and friendly. There is plenty to see and lots of information about the history of the fort and surrounding area. For the children there are mice to find and spot. Very enjoyable for all ages." [Trip Advisor Review 2020]

With an annual pass into the fort, you will have free re-entry for all this year… and all next year too!

No pre-booking is required.

Last admission 1 hour before closing time.
