In Gosport town centre you’ll find The Discovery Centre, which is open till 7pm on weekday evenings. There is a surprising range of things to see at the Centre, including art exhibitions, events, and special activities for children and families. The Discovery Centre museum tells the history of Gosport and is well worth a visit, whilst those interested in fossils will enjoy the Geology Gallery. Why not also visit the family friendly exhibition on the mezzanine floor of Gosport Discovery Centre. Located just off the Town Centre High Street, exhibitions use pictures, objects and interactives to tell the stories of Gosport’s people.

The library rejoices in the name of Discovery Centre, but it's a library really. There is a good cafe and toilets, plenty of tables and chairs, free wifi (which is why I went there in the first place) and the staff are friendly and helpful. There was a good display of the plans the council have to upgrade the centre and waterfront area of Gosport, and goodness knows they could do more with it.

The beach has changed markedly since I lived here in the 1950s when Lee Tower was the central attraction. The beach groins have been shored up. The cliffs have been landscaped. There's more for the kids to do, such as the skateboard park. Best of all, the promenade allows an easy walk or jog from Browndown all the way to Hillhead. The views across to the Isle of Wight are spectacular and there's always plenty of activity on the Solent for sightseers and water sport participants alike. The icing on the cake is that, regardless of weather, a one minute walk takes you to the High Street which is full of interesting and unique shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the 7-day open Co-Op and Tesco convenience stores. Just a 10 minute drive from Fareham makes this a great beach to visit any time of the year.

I went with a group and we had a great friendly welcome, the beer was in top condition and the brewer Ed was gracious with his time and hospitality. Fully recommended. Please note this is a working brewery so public entry times are limited and tours can be arranged at a charge.

This lovely country park sits between Lee-on-the-Solent and Gosport. From the high ground in the centre (Sandhills) good views of the Isle of Wight, Spinnaker Tower and the Eastern Solent can be enjoyed. The park has trails of varying types to suit walkers, cyclists and families with young children. The park is popular with dog-walkers, so be prepared to meet plenty of canine fellow-travellers if you visit.
