Portsmouth is an irresistible mix of history and heritage, specialist shopping, great restaurants and bars and home of the Royal Navy. The historic dockyard is a great place to experience 800 years of Royal Naval History. You can also experience the quiet life in old Portsmouth as you stroll along the cobbled streets offering unique shopping opportunities, traditional pubs and tucked away tearooms. Not forgetting, of course, the modern emblem of Portsmouth – the Emirates Spinnaker Tower. This imposing structure stretches 170 metres above Gunwharf Quays – making it taller than Big Ben.
We will also visit Winchester – the ancient capital of England, full of Mediaeval character, and buildings including the famous cathedral – the burial place of Jane Austen.
