Millennium Promenade

Reviewed By ShaunL - Clanfield, United Kingdom

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.

We enjoyed an afternoon walking from the shops along the promenade at Lymington overlooking the Yacht Haven. There is so much activity-we watched the I.O.W. Ferry leaving, the R.N.L.I. rescue launch returning with a patient and all sorts of small craft and activities.

In the Footsteps of Gilbert White

Reviewed By MarkMahoney - Aldershot, United Kingdom

Wonderful walking up the zig zag. A path that zig zags up a hill. At the top you can walk along the hanger. The zig zag has a bench half way and at top with beautiful views. Car park behind pub with toilets.

Buckler's Hard

On the banks of the Beaulieu River, in the heart of the New Forest, you will find the peaceful haven of Buckler’s Hard, the unique and picturesque village where warships for Nelson’s navy were built. Visit the historic cottage displays recreating 18th century life, take a delightful riverside walk or enjoy a cruise on the tranquil Beaulieu River. Gift shop and Captain’s Cabin Cafe. Open every day (except Christmas Day).

Enjoy being by the water, watch the boats and yachts cruising by, enjoy a boat trip up the estuary towards the Solent and then a refreshing drink and food at the pub. The workers cottages are very quaint and it has the museum there too.

The Guildhall Square Cenotaph

Reviewed By ShaunL - Clanfield, United Kingdom

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.
