Portsmouth
What you need to know before you go
Portsmouth serves as one of England's most important southern ports. Those with an interest in maritime history have come to the right place. Inside the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, you can visit the National Museum of the Royal Navy, step aboard Lord Nelson's HMS Victory or admire the Tudor Mary Rose.
Once you've seen the city and the views over the ocean from the observation deck in the sail-shaped Spinnaker Tower, you can explore the cobbled streets of the old town and close off the evening with a beer in one of the cosy maritime-themed pubs.
