The millennium promenade is actually a chain that has been marked into the pavement for you to follow from the dockyard area, past the Hard, the station, Gunwharf quays, the Camber docks, old Portsmouth, the cathedral, the square & round towers, the hot walls and the new studios, round to spice island with views back over to the spinnaker etc. It’s a nice walk with plenty of places to stop for a drink or some food. A self guided tour really. Hot walls being a family fave.

The Round Tower together with the nearby Square Tower (We like simple names here) were built in their present form as part of the Harbour defences, towards the end of the 15th century and really have seen history pass. In more recent years ships sailing to the Falklands and Gulf Wars. It is a very popular spot for naval families to wave goodbye or welcome back. Today, whilst you do require a certain level of fitness to reach the viewing area, it makes the perfect place to see the commercial and military ships sailing in and out of the Harbour. It also gives excellent, free views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
6. The Guildhall Square Cenotaph

Located at the north-west corner of Guildhall Square before you reach Victoria Park this is an impressive memorial to those who gave their lives both military and civilian from Portsmouth and surrounding areas in defending our freedom. I confess that I have never really had a close up look before at the list of names so took some time today to look across all of the names. It’s a poignant reminder. Easy to get to and should be on your walking list as you tour this famous city that is very rich in history, more so than any other city on the south coast.
7. Bonds of Friendship
