Portchester Castle, Hampshire. Love a good ruins.
Portchester Castle's remarkable history began in the 3rd century as a Roman fort. By the 5th century this waterside fortress was transformed into a Saxon settlement, and after the Conquest of 1066 it became a Norman castle. It was even used as a prison several times over the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Hope you enjoyed the brief history lesson ๐
