Nothe Fort, Victorian military fort in Weymouth, England.
The fort extends across three levels, containing underground magazines for ammunition storage, ground level casemates, and upper ramparts for artillery positions.
Built between 1860 and 1872 by the Royal Engineers, the fort protected Portland Harbor during a period of naval expansion in southern England.
The structure maintains its original Victorian military architecture with thick stone walls, underground tunnels, and gun platforms that demonstrate 19th-century coastal defense systems.
Visitors access multiple exhibition areas displaying military equipment, historical artifacts, and detailed information about the fort's role through different conflicts.
The fort served as a strategic observation point during the 2012 Olympic sailing events, hosting 150 maritime safety marshals.
