Sandsfoot Gardens ~ Weymouth

Sandsfoot Gardens form the grounds around the ruins of Sandsfoot Castle. Enjoying some of the most spectacular views across Portland Harbour, these small but beautiful gardens are made up of seasonal flowers, herb beds and herbaceous borders, which surround an ornamental pond in the centre of the grounds. The Castle dates back to 1539 and was built during the reign of Henry VIII to prevent an invasion from the French and Spanish. It suffered early erosion and was abandoned for military use in 1665.

The castle is open all year round and is free to enter normally, but at the moment it is fenced off. I will add some pictures of the castle ruin later in the week.
