点评:Forth Brockhurst is one of the Palmerston Forts built to protect the naval dockyard in Portsmouth. It is of a completely different style to those upon the top of Portsdown Hill and make an interesting comparison to Fort Nelson.
The fort is only open from 11am to 3pm on the second and forth Saturdays of the month between April and October. It is free to enter but donations can be made towards it upkeep. The volunteers who make it possible to visit the site are friendly and on hand to tell you about the site. Parking is either pay in advance online or at the site. However there is no means to pay when you arrive. I just gave the cost (only £2) with a donation.
Once you enter it is surprising how large the site actually is. Entering through the keep you progress onto the parade ground surrounded by the ramparts with offices, workshops and accommodation set into them. If you visit on a hot day be aware that there is not a lot of cover, so a hat of some sort would be a good idea. Fort Brockhurst is preserved as close a possible to how it would have been when in use. Don't expect to see rooms full of exhibits like you do at Fort Nelson, which is a armaments museum.
An interesting place to visit when in the area and if you time it right, you may find that there is a heritage event, on which increase the opening hours slightly.
翻译:布罗克赫斯特堡是帕默斯顿堡垒之一,旨在保护朴茨茅斯的海军造船厂。它的风格与波茨当山顶上的完全不同,与纳尔逊堡形成有趣的比较。
堡垒仅在 4 月至 10 月期间的第二个和第四个星期六上午 11 点至下午 3 点开放。它可以免费进入,但可以捐款用于维护。帮助您参观该网站的志愿者非常友好,随时向您介绍该网站。停车费可以在线提前支付,也可以在现场支付。然而,当您到达时无法付款。我只是通过捐款支付了费用(仅 2 英镑)。
一旦你进入,你会惊讶地发现这个网站实际上有多大。进入后,您将进入被城墙包围的阅兵场,城墙内设有办公室、车间和住宿。如果您在炎热的天气来访,请注意没有太多遮盖物,因此戴上某种帽子是个好主意。布罗克赫斯特堡的保存尽可能接近其使用时的样子。不要指望像在纳尔逊堡那样看到满是展品的房间,这是一个军备博物馆。
在该地区时,这是一个值得参观的有趣地方,如果时间合适,您可能会发现有一个遗产活动,其开放时间略有增加。
