Bembridge and Culver Downs form a dramatic point at the east end of the Isle of Wight.
Step into history at Bembridge Fort, perched high on Bembridge Down with breathtaking views across the Solent and English Channel. This hidden Isle of Wight gem invites you to explore a real Victorian fortress, built in the 1860s to defend Britain’s coastline.
Recently, Bembridge Fort Trust successfully secured National Lottery funding to evolve and reposition itself as a major unique heritage attraction and sustainable events venue on the Isle of Wight.
What’s on at the fort?
“Forts are not built because men love war, but because they fear invasion.”
Lord Palmerston - Victorian British Prime Minister
