In this explore we visit one of the Palmerston Forts in the Solent.
This fort has been redeveloped into a beautiful hotel, complete with Museum, restaurants and shops.
However, during the Pandemic and afterwards, the hotel hasn't reopened.
Join us as we take a look around 😉
Also on the explore were,
Glen.

They are auctioning it on 12/14/2023. Can you believe it's been abandoned all this time? It's so beautiful and such a magnificent piece of history! I hope someone will purchase it and keep the same vision. I'd definitely put it on my travel list!

I’ve stayed here and the smaller sister spitbank fort. It was an amazing stay run by a company who gave full tour, an overnight stay and incredible food. Was lucky enough to pick it up on secret escapes at just under half price. It was £800 per night at full price from memory. One of our best stays ever…… please check out the raves that happened there in the 80’s!! Looked epic. The rubbish that had to be cleared up when they were renovated into hotels was ridiculous. It sits over an aquifer that comes from France and has its own water supply. You can walk around the cavity in the smaller fort and it’s a spooky walk… I could go on for hours about the place. Packed with history both ancient and recent……So sad it’s empty and now for sale….. I believe Covid was the nail in its coffin.😢

It could be a nice hotel under proper management. Lots of hotels in Thailand and Fiji are located on tiny islands and it is amazing how much is recycled and reused on the islands with as little impact to the land and water on the island. They collect all the gray water, ie water from baths, kitchen except the toilet waste, and it is treated on site and released in retention ponds which are beautifully landscaped into the hotel with koi fish. The water then treated and used everywhere except for drinking. All garbage and kitchen refuse is treated with the organics used to make compost which helps to grow the herb and vegetable gardens. Very little is incinerated. The heat from the incinerator is used to heat the water for bathing etc. And sola energy is used to provide all the power needed. The toilet waste is placed in holding tanks and pumped out with equipment from the mainland using trucks and boats. Of course all plumbing has to reworked to separate the gray water. But this place can easily do it too. It could be almost self sufficient. The hotels in the Maldives all have their own sea planes for guests at the hotel.

it had been open for 8 years then In 2020, use of the hotel was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. The hotel was unable to reopen as other English hotels did in July, "due to their unique requirements in both transportation and sanitisation requirements"

@@marcushull12sad. I am all for saving the environment but of late it has just gone too far. The people that make up the rules and regulations have no clue about operating these places etc They are usually a bunch of lawyers and some environment biologist etc who have nothing better to do but sit in a nice office making up more unnecessary things one has to abide by. They don't take into consideration the consequences to small businesses with all their impractical rules which make little impact on the environment. Just like the US now trying to stop the use of gas stoves/cookers in US households, yet the VP Kamala Harris was photographed this Thanksgiving next to her gas stove. I do as much I can for the environment, always recycling and re-using, as I buy most of items/clothes from trift stores being on a measly disability income. But these darn rich lawyers who write these regulations are always spending their money on the most expensive handbags, fancy cars and flying all over the place. It is same as Harry and Meghan educating us on the environment yet they are constantly flying private all over the world. Now these mom and pop businesses have to suffer the blunt of their ridiculous regulations and taxes putting them out of business!
