Build your own … fort

From prehistoric earthworks to wooden Roman towers, from Anglo-Saxon strongholds to Norman castles, forts have played a huge role in English history. They’ve also been the centre of communities where people have lived, worked and played.

What would you build your fort out of? Wood perhaps? Or stone? Or marshmallows? Follow the trail (one of four World Builder Challenge trails at our sites) and be inspired to create your own fort.
