Portchester Castle is a medieval castle and former Roman fort at Portchester to the east of Fareham, occupying a commanding position at the head of Portsmouth Harbour. The castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building. The castle has been in the ownership of the Southwick Estate since the 17th century but is managed by English Heritage and open to visitors throughout the year.
