Update on Hurst Castle collapsed East Wing

A recent article by local Advertiser and Times reporter, Roz Waters reports that the next phase of work to strengthen Hurst Castle against coastal erosion has been launched alongside in-depth investigations to plan for the future.

English Heritage contractors are working to strengthen the fallen wall and checking ground conditions, geology of the spit and integrity of the castle’s foundations since the collapse of part of the east wing.

To date 22,000 tonnes of shingle and rock armour has been positioned to provide protection for the next 50 years.
