Sandsfoot Castle
'a right goodlie and warlyke castle' ¹
Weymouth
Completed in 1539 and was built
by Henry VIII to
guard the sea lanes between Weymouth and
Portland. It
changed hands several times during the Civil War before finally falling
into ruin in the 1700s. It is situated close to the old railway which ran to
Portland which is
now a cycle/walkway called the Rodwell Trail. The building stones for the castle is said to have come from the dissolved Bindon Abbey near Wool.
