Unique Castle Restored

It's one of the most unique structures on the south coast. More than a century ago Durlston Castle in Dorset was supposed to be at the centre of a building project that would sum up Victorian ideology, architecture and ambition. But the vision was never fulfilled. The castle later fell into disrepair, but was saved two years ago when it won a multi million pound lottery grant. As the restoration work reaches the halfway stage, Martin Dowse went to take a look at how it's going. He talked to Rob Hooker, Director of Greendale Construction and Ali Tuckey from Durlston Country Park.
