Calshot Castle

One of Henry VIII's forts, built on Calshot Spit to guard the entrance to Southampton Water.
It was built as a circular blockhouse with a three-story central keep in 1540, using stone from Beaulieu Abbey.
The castle was in use until 1956, and is now owned by English Heritage and open to the public.
