One of two piers in Portsmouth, South Parade is a classic English pier packed with amusements, food outlets and souvenir shops. It underwent complete renovation in 2017 after having fallen into disrepair and is now a lively place, particularly in the summer. It was originally opened in 1879 and has undergone a rather tumultuous history with fires, innumerable sales and being used as a film location.

Southsea Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Southsea Castle was built in 1544 as part of a series of fortifications constructed by King Henry VIII to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire. Soon after the fort was completed, Henry stood inside and watched his flagship, the Mary Rose, sink at the Battle of the Solent against the French in July 1545. These days, the fort is a popular tourist attraction. For more information, visit: southseacastle.co.uk.
