The scheme aims to open up the castle to the public

Efforts to restore Sandsfoot Castle near Weymouth, Dorset, have been handed a boost after receiving £194,700 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

Weymouth and Portland Borough Council (WPBC) and the Friends of Rodwell Trail and Sandsfoot Garden are working on the scheme to preserve the historic structure.

The HLF grant will be used to repair the castle and to provide a new walk platform around the interior walls to enable public access for the first time in years.

Roger Allen, brief holder for culture, tourism and community facilities at WPBC, said: "Receiving Heritage Lottery Funding will provide a long lasting legacy for our borough."

Sandsfoot Castle is scheduled to open in 2012.
