Perched high above Portland Harbour, the Verne High Angle Battery was one of Britain’s most unusual coastal defences. Built in the late 19th century, its powerful guns were designed to fire shells in a steep arc, plunging down onto enemy ships below.

On this 90-minute guided walk, your expert local guide will explore how the battery worked, why it was built, and what life was like for the men stationed on this exposed headland. You’ll visit surviving structures including underground tunnels and ammunition stores, while uncovering the wider story of Portland’s military role across both World Wars.
