Portsmouth, located in Hampshire county, is Britain's only island city
and home to the British Royal Navy.
The mix of historic ships, castles, forts, museums and narrow side streets
recall a medieval community huddled within the town walls.
Portsmouth's Royal Dockyard now proudly displays three famous historic ships:
Henry VIII's Mary Rose, Nelson's flagship HMS Victory and
the Victorian iron clad HMS Warrior.
You should also visit Southsea Castle built by Henry VIII.
Today visitors can explore the castle,
including the mysterious system of tunnels round the moat,
and enjoy the panoramic views of the Solent from the top of the Tudor keep.
Portsmouth is located:
94 km away from London
31 km away from Southampton
