Portsmouth is only island city of Britain surrounded by water and home to famous harbour of south coast of England. It has been home to Royal Navy over for 450 years.
These are my choice as how to spend a day in the city.
1. Harbour view.
View with spinnaker Tower is great way to feel the size and scope of Portsmouth. Opened back in 2005, it offer 350 degree panoramic views at 170m high from which you can see up to 23 miles away from one of three viewing decks toward the Isle of Wight.
2. Take a boat tour.
You can also take a round boat trip around the harbour from dockyards and learn about history about city sea defenses.
3. Coastal walk to see the sights.
Ports down Hill is chalk ridges that provides magnificent views over Portsmouth with Highest point being 120m above sea level, across the harbour. Ports-down is assigned site of special scientific interest along with it the Hill is also rich in bird life.
4. Discover Gunwharf Quay.
Prefect placed to fancy lunch and chance to shop. Then a walking distance from dockyard is a good choice with more than 90 high end shops, cinema, bowling alleys and restaurants.
How to get here.
It take one hour and 20 minutes from London (Waterloo Station) to Portsmouth via Southern Railway. If you driving it can take around two and a half hours. Their is plenty of parking facilities in town centre.
