Fort Blockhouse
Fort Blockhouse
Fort Blockhouse is a military establishment in Gosport, Hampshire, and the final version of a complicated site. It is surrounded on 3 sides by water and provides the best view of the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour. It is unique in two respects - firstly, it was built over a number of centuries. Secondly, it is thought to be the oldest fortified position in the United Kingdom that is still in active military use LinkExternal link
