A unique venue within the Portsmouth cultural landscape.

Fort Nelson is one of four Palmerston forts, strategically positioned along the chalk ridge of Portsdown Hill, and is one of the best surviving examples of a 19th-century Victorian fort. This fully restored Victorian fort was built to protect the great naval harbour of Portsmouth and is set in over 19 acres of glorious Hampshire countryside. The spectacular views of Portsmouth Harbour, the Meon Valley and South Downs National Park make it a unique place for your special event.
