Poor
Poor. Waited over an hour to get the ferry there and back and wasn’t worth the money. Avoid

Company details
Written by the company
Located within the New Forest National Park, Hurst Castle is situated on the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 2 miles from Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire. Built by Henry VIII as a chain of fortresses to protect the Solent in 1544, this is the site where Charles I was imprisoned in 1648 before being taken to his trial and execution in London. The castle was modernised during the Napoleonic wars and again in the 1870s when the enormous armoured wings were added, making it the largest coastal fort in the world. Two of the huge 38-ton guns installed in the 1870s can be viewed in their casemates together with other weapons developed through 412 years of military use. During World War II, Hurst was manned with coastal gun batteries and searchlights. You can get to Hurst Castle by ferry from Keyhaven Quay (sat nav postcode: SO41 0TP) or you can walk along the shingle Hurst Spit.

Hurst Castle: Enjoy the walk and views...
Hurst Castle: Enjoy the walk and views... Historic, informative and enjoyable. The fortress had a nice pebble beach, so take a picnic and enjoy watching the multitude of sail boats coming into the Solent. We walked both there and back but there is a small ferry service to Hurst Castle if you are not fit but there was a queue at the Hurst Castle end and they looked like they have been waiting a while. You can walk along the nature reserve side of the Hurst Spit/Barrier Beach if the wind is up, as a strong sea breeze in the face can get a bit tiresome.
