TWO stunning sea forts designed to defend the south coast have gone on the market with Colliers International's Hotels Agency team and are expected to fetch more than £8 million. 
The island properties, surrounded by water, were commissioned by Lord Palmerston in the 1860s and took 20 years to build. However the Solent Forts, located near Portsmouth, were never used in battle and now feature luxury hotels.
