Portland Breakwater Fort

It is located on the outer breakwater of the harbour and has been Grade II Listed since 1978.

Designed by Captain E. H. Steward of the Royal Engineers, the circular fort was first planned in 1859.

[5] In 1995, the Dorset Sculpture Trust attempted to gain a grant from the Millennium Fund to turn the site into an arts centre.

[3] In 2005, BBC Spotlight's Jonathan Hudston had an exclusive tour of the fort.

[2] At the time, it was estimated that it would take £10 million to repair the fort for commercial use, and that it was not a priority for the owners, Portland Port Ltd.[2][6]
